Owner's words
The wine presents a sharp violet color with purple reflections. It has a nice intensity. The nose opens with notes of cherry, peony and iris, then enriches with a spicy hint of pepper, cocoa, to finish on a greedy milk jam touch. the wine is both fleshy and precise on the palet. The attack is ample. A fine and tight tannic frame, with a beautiful density stretches on a fresh and persistent finish. The notes of kirsch and cherry stone are back, completed with a discreet hint of blood orange.
