How this wine feels

The fruit feels rich and rounded, with silky tannins giving gentle shape. A fresh edge keeps the finish lively, while herbs and spice add a savoury layer. It offers more depth than a simple fruity red, without a strongly drying grip.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
