Tasting notes
Beautiful purple color. Offers a floral nose of violet, notes of cherry brandy and some spicy touches. On the palate it is round, fine, delicate with elegant tannins. The aromatic expression is dominated by aromas of red and black fruits, flowers, but also citrus fruits such as blood orange. Oriental spices give a charming character. This elegant and refined wine shines with its balance, its smoothness and the finesse of its tannins.
