Sensory Description: The 2019 'Blues' Monopole Kékfrankos offers a symphony of aromas and flavors that captivate the senses. The nose is greeted with a burst of red cherry, blueberry, and a hint of white pepper, underscored by subtle oak nuances. On the palate, juicy notes of sour cherry, blackberry, raspberry, and red currant are enriched by black pepper and clove, leading to earthy undertones and a well-integrated oak finish. Medium-bodied with balanced tannins and high acidity, this wine culminates in a long, spicy finish.
