Owner's words
A beautiful crimson colour. On the nose, mint aromas mingle with blackfruit (blackcurrant and blackberry), creating freshness and richness. The wine is clean in the attack with the rounded, fruity Merlot offering a gourmet touch. Thanks to the Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, the mid-palate is compact and the finsih is lingering and hugely seductive.
