Tasting notes :

Appearance : deep garnet.

Nose : intense, with aroma of red fruits such as cherries, blackberries and blackcurrants. Palate : powerful, with concentrated flavours of cherry and blackcurrant with a hint of spice on the finish. The tannins are soft and supple. This wine has the potential for long ageing.
