Tasting notes

Colour: Deep ruby, brilliant, with garnet highlights.

Nose: Elegant and pure, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, violet, sweet spices, cedar and a hint of flowers.

Palate: Supple attack, silky texture and fine tannins. The mid-palate is precise, structured and very well-balanced. The finish is long, fresh and complex, with notes of black fruit, light tobacco and dried flowers.
