Commentaire de dégustation
Beautiful, bright, intense colour with glints of deep purple. Expressive, complex nose with black fruit (blackcurrant and raspberry), mixed with floral notes of undergrowth, cedar, ivy and menthol. Generous palate with a delicate tannic structure. Very smooth texture, underpinned by a pleasant acidity that gives the wine depth and length.
