The tasting

Colour

This wine showcases a beautiful inky colour, almost black, with purple highlights.

Nose

The nose gives off fresh, peppery and fruity (black fruit) fragrances.

Palate

The attack is lively and ample. Powerful and with a beautiful tension, the palate is seduced by this wine’s tannic structure, its velvety feel and its elegance. The finish is persistent and reveals delicious spicy notes.
