Tasting
Colour
The wine is a beautiful ruby red colour.
Nose
The nose is precise, opening on intense fruity fragrances (fresh red fruit, redcurrant, blackberry). During aeration delicious notes of licorice and spice appear.
Palate
Combining beautifully elegance and vivacity, the palate entices with its persistence and its smooth notes of cocoa powder.
