| Tasting: |
Dark purple color. This wine offers notes of black fruits, sweet spices and coffee. The bouquet is generally delicate, elegant and complex. The attack on the palate is generous, ample and well-balanced on fresh and sweet red fruits. The freshness is associated with the nobility of the tannins and the aromatic complexity of this gourmet but tense wine with a remarkable length. |
