Nose: Clean and expressive, with notes of red fruit (cherry, raspberry) and ripe black fruit (blackcurrant), with a floral touch and a discreet woody note.

Palate: Supple attack, with fine, well-integrated tannins. The wine is beautifully rounded, with silky texture and balanced acidity. The finish is fruity, elegant and fairly persistent, with a hint of spice.
