Tasting notes
Wine of great solar and mineral elegance. Its dress is a beautiful carmine red. It is floral and fruity with hints of licorice. It is a wine with a lot of freshness, it is gourmand, complex, elegant and deep. Its structure brings a nice tension on the finish. It will gain in complexity over a few years.
