·@Lo BarThe nose is lovely - good fruit that leans Nordic (lingonberry, cranberry territory) but with riper notes keeping it grounded. Touch of pepper. And the palate delivers: rounded, nicely acidic, mineral, and genuinely enjoyable. Not complex, but the balance is just right. Sometimes that's enough.
