KISS Gábor 364 Rouge 2022

A cabernet franc, kékfrankos and merlot blend, made in an early drinking style. In a way it shows a classic Bordeaux blend character, it’s dark, ripe, leafy and powerful, yet it’s unusually lively and juicy, without noticeable oak. Velvet like smoothness on the palate, helped by soft acidity. It’s quite tannic, though, which adds a rustic character, but its sheer fruit power makes it a fun bistro wine.
