TASTING NOTE
Colonjes Cuvée 2017
red wine
A well-made wine with an interesting and very broad aroma and tasting palate. We smell a combination of red forest fruit, green herbs, and clear aroma characteristics of oak ageing. In the nose the wine has a bit of a green character, but in the mouth we taste more ripe, red fruit, spices and black tea.

Detailed Tasting Notes
Wine tasting: 23 Jun 2021
Appearance
A clear, garnet-colored wine with medium color intensity.
Nose
The wine has a clean and youthful nose and a broad, medium+ aroma intensity. It shows vegetal, fruity, floral, herbaceous and wood characteristics. We smell red jammy forest fruit, black currants, blackberries, bay leaf, pencil sharpening, boiled cabbage, green bell pepper and pine-resin.
Palate
A dry wine with quite high acids (medium+). Alcohol and body are medium and the tannins are low. The flavor intensity is also medium, with characteristics of red fruit and spices. The wine is somewhat mouth-drying. We taste red fruit, black cherries, bay leaf, cloves, salmiak, pine resin and black tea.
Quality Assessment
A good wine, ready to drink now, not suitable for further ageing due to the low level of tannins. Well made with an interesting and very broad palate.
