JIKvig's Review: Medium red, on the way to brown in my case (bad light maybe?)

Smell; Candyish, red licorice and some spice. Also some red fruit, but I could not detect it until after a few minutes in the glas. Some spice flavours.

Taste; Good solid body, a littlebit sweet almost in the beginnig, then of to some good red fruit. Also a Fisherman Friendish taste, and the whole thing went of to a good and solid finish.

Conclusion; Good wine, absoluttly worth the price here in Norway. All in all, a solid Barbera wine!

JIKvig's Review: A nice golden/green color, with closed curtains

Smell
At the first sniff I thought I got tobacco, but after a swirl the wine had gave me alot of freshness. Got some hint of citrus, starfruit (?) and some honey-melon. A promising scent!

Taste
Wow! was my first thought. Maybe just my mindset was alittle pumped up. Good balanced wine, with long aftertaste. Green apples and sweet, yellow licorice and some flowers on the pallet

Conclusion
This was a wine right up my alley. A really good wine to a low price (in norvegian standard), and it’s well worth the money. Alittle to “simple” for my pallet and a bit to sweet, but a really good wine that I really could see compared with salmon or other red, fat fishtypes.

JIKvig's Review: The color is a deep ruby and the bouquet is of red berries, chocolate and nuances of green tea. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied, fruity, with soft tannins, and is well balanced with a long, smooth finish.
Good and affordable wine.

JIKvig's Review: A good representative for Rhône whites. Alot of alcohol, both in smell and taste. Got some green apple also on the nose.
This is a cheap and good wine, well worth seeking out if you want to try a white Rhône wine.
