Tasting Notes
Strong ruby colour with purple reflections, delicate ochre lightening on the rim. Nuances of red forest berry confit with delicate tobacco and savoury notes in the background, fresh heart cherries, candied orange zest, dark mineral in the echo. Juicy, complex, finesse-rich structure, fresh and lively, ripe red berries, mineral and taut on the finish, very good length, good ageing potential, a light-footed food wine.
