Tasting Notes
Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections. Initially intense herbal spice on the nose, hints of laurel bushes and maquis, red berries, underlaid with heart cherries. Medium complexity, fresh structure, subtle nougat notes, well-integrated tannins, delicate hints of dark chocolate, clearly characterized by Cabernet Franc, somewhat closed at the moment.
