Dark clear scarlet with a purple tinge. On the nose I get a lot of spice - pepper, musk and subtle vanila. Somewhere in there are ripe black currants. The palate is smooth and medium bodied with slightly underripe fruits and fairly tight acids. Not overly tannic. The flavour is of licorice and a mix of red and black currants. Medium in length with acid dominating. The distinctive flavour is this wine's plus point.

Opulenter und reicher Körper mit Noten von schwarzer Johannisbeere, Kirsche, umlagert von Nelke und anderen Gewürzen, mit einem Hauch Vanille. Im Abgang rauchiger Charakter mit einem besonderem langen Finale.

The Aresti name does not appear on label of this brand, which is an easy drinking style focused on the UK and German retail trade. Starting 2006, it is imported into the UK by Thierry's. Bright and smoky fruit character, with a small percentage of oak treatment (staves). Nice fruit expression - quite rounded and ripe, with that smokiness and spice running through, and a crisp cherry acidity abit of grip. They expect this to sell at around £4.99, with £3.99 possible to promote it.
