Owner's words
Dark garnet with purple highlights. Before stirring: black cherry. After stirring: light note of tarragon, of umami, mingled to a mineral set of fireplace hearth and pencil and again red fruit. On the palate: soft tannins structured by a fine enveloping grain. Persistent fragrant and iodized finale.
