- Tasting note : Medium-layer deep cherry red with faint ruby hues. Clean and bright. Nose with aromas of great intensity and complexity with a very good balance between the fruity hints and those added by the wood. Reminiscent of redcurrant and blueberry, together with hints of broom and hardwoods. Warm and enveloping attack, with a meaty passage through the mouth with light tannins, which lends the wine vigour. Clean and untainted retronasal, reminiscent of fruit and spices.
- Aftertaste: pleasant and tasty with a light astringency that will become refined over time. Long and very elegant aftertaste.
