A fun, red fruit dominant, oxidative wine with lots to discover on the nose. Although, I feel it's a little unbalanced, it's quite sour and alcoholic tasting, but I have heard about bottle variation in regards to LdH. This didn't blow my mind or anything, but my mom and grandma who are casual wine drinkers really enjoyed this.
