every year starting with November 30, I am creating a line up of wines that I take out of my wine fridge in order to try until Christmas and New Years' Eve; I am trying to taste a variety of wines but focus on quality and wines that have received good reviews; so this is wine no2, or day 2 if you wish of my personal Christmas advent calendar for 2022.

The wine needs some time to breathe; on the nose, it's full of aromas of plum and blackberries, cedar, violet and a touch of green herb notes; soft tannins, medium body and alcohol level, a lengthy and fresh finish.
