It is very interesting if you compare the tasting notes of the same wine with the ones from almost exactly one year ago, the wine developed significantly since then. It is more matured with fruits more in preserved or canned form. It is amazing that the wine has still loads of tannins, not unpleasant, but drying your mouth feel with good acidity at the end, it is just something unusual and kind of wine not everyone would love it, but I do. For the label please refer to tasting one year ago here.
