Tasting notes

Beautiful ruby appearance, bright. Nose of good intensity with aromas of red fruits – cherry, slightly caramelised blackcurrant. The initial impression is supple/graceful and reveals full flavours with volume thanks to the tannins. An easy to drink Bordeaux, accessible, round and fruity revealing a beautiful aromatic palate.
