TASTING NOTE
Tussen Rug en Rijn Elsterrood 2022
red wine
A beautiful red wine made from a blend of hybrid grapes. The wine has an aroma that is very similar to Cabernet Franc. The palate is complex and broad with lots of red and black fruits, spices and light toast. If you have a little patience, leave it for about six months to soften a bit.

Utrecht
Detailed Tasting Notes
Wine tasting: 31 Oct 2024
Appearance
A clear, purple wine with deep color intensity
Nose
The nose is clean and youthful with medium+ aroma intensity and characteristics of red and black fruit and herbs. We smell cassis (pronounced), blackberry, plums, bay leaf, prunes and some toast
Palate
A dry wine with medium acidity, medium alcohol, medium body and medium ending. Flavor intensity is medium+ with fruity (black and red fruit), green and herbaceous characteristics. We taste blackcurrant, redcurrant, strawberries, cranberries, liquorice, bay leaf, bell-pepper and some bitterness.
Quality Assessment
A good and well balanced wine, can drink it now but six months of further development in the bottle will do the wine good to integrate the flavors better and to refine the sharp edges a bit.
