Owner's words
Luminous, almost violet garnet Limpid and brilliant On the nose, aromas of red fruit, strawberry and cherry. After swirling, the wine opens with aromas of pink berries, black cherry and floral notes. On the palate, the attack is frank and lively. The tannins are enveloping and almost chalky. Cherry aromas are confirmed, encapsulated by minty notes. The finish is persistent and aromatic, with a red berry theme.
