TASTING NOTE
Samen Rood 2016
red wine
A good wine, with typical aroma and flavour palate of port wine: dried figs and prunes, cherries, red cabbage and liquorice combined with some vegetal tones. Be prepared for the characteristic Rondo taste: rustic and rural. Given the unfamiliarity of this grape outside the Netherlands, it is a not well-known taste that one must learn to know and appreciate.
