On the nose very clean and linear, with an appealing aroma of sweet raspberry. Nothing more, nothing less. In the mouth rather light, but filling and elegant, with soft but firm tannins and a good acidity. The aftertaste is neither long nor rich, but nevertheless enjoyable.

On the nose more floral than fruity, with some earthy notes. When the fruit shows up, it comes from the red berries category. In the mouth fresh and light yet filling. Good, delicate length. Overall a charming medium body red wine, that reminds me of a Gamay.
This Languedoc wine made with 95% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache grapes is dominated by a meaty, wild game aroma. In the mouth, it tends to lack matter. Although rather light, it is pretty pleasant. On the finish a bit bitter, but fairly long. Well present tannins, which is a characteristic of the grape.
The brilliant color strongly recalls black cherries.
The aroma is dominated by baked berries, combined with some prunes. The 15% alcohol content is a bit prickly to the nose.
Deep ruby red to the eyes. Rich, ripe and intense on the nose, with notes of black berries and spices. Nice and fascinating complexity, with the fruit that keeps hiding and showing up discretely. In the mouth elegant, but less filling than you could expect. Earthy, mineral sensations dominate. Firm yet rounded tannins and nice acidity. The aftertaste gets a bit cut off. 
On the nose primarily coffee, cacao and cherry. Some vegetable notes are also clearly detectable and they accompany you in the mouth till the end, with a rough feel that I personally find a bit disturbing, but could also be peculiar to this unique wine. 
The only reason I bought this Bardolino DOC Classico is because it is made without any sulphites added, and I was curious to judge the result.
On the nose cottage cheese and butterscotch. After a while the eucalyptus note typical of this wine also shows up.
Aroma of tobacco, nuts and black cherry, with balsamic notes. Very subtle, both on the nose and in the mouth, where the wine is very fresh, elegant and refined from the beginning to the end. The silky tannins leave your mouth with a clear sensation of having cleaned it.
