Winery Review: This red from the Coreto range has loads of dark berry fruit with a hint of new oak creating a soft, velvet structure that makes it very to easy drink. Red currant and juicy acidity.

My Review: I did not smell anything in this wine. I did not feel that it had a smell at all. It tasted of dark berries, some oak as well. It was not very full bodied, but it was very smooth.
