I recently opened a wine that left me rather impressed and somewhat puzzled at the same time. It struck a surprising balance between earthy and fruity. Can't decide if it was entirely successful in what it was attempting, which makes it an intriguing choice.

The nose reminded me of a late autumn walk through a damp forest with sweet undertones of berries. A unique mix, right? It's not often you find a wine that can wear both hats so well.
