TASTING NOTE
De Linie Rood 2019
red wine
The wine has a bit of a green character. We taste red fruits and herbaceous flavours like liquorice, rosemary and blackcurrant and pronounced smoky flavours of oak. We recommend decanting the wine, this will certainly improve the taste. After being opened for some time, the wine still has green notes of bitterness and green pepper, but the oaky flavours are less pronounced. We suspect that the grapes have been picked too green and have not yet reached full maturity.
