Well this wine is very surprising, it has excellent bouquet of ripe plums and sour cherries and very visible vanilla tones. In the mount it is lighter than expected with predominant sour cherries and plums character. This makes it more fruity red one would guess it is from Austria rather from Spain (if the bouquet was not n in the sensory perceptions).
