He says :           2.5 stars

• Smells like violet, red fruits and cherries
• Much better, more vivid when paired with food
• Taste of violet, cherries, red fruit, not a very strong taste though
• Very dry, tannic, could have aged a few more years
• Lack of complexity, very short-lasting taste, bland
• In general, underwhelming and disappointing
• Saved from 2 stars by extra flavor from food pairing

She says :           2.5 stars

• Cherry and floral aromas, as well as taste
• Short taste that does not linger
• Lack of body
• Not very interesting
• However it does improve with food
