Tasting notes

Beautiful appearance, of a deep dark red. The complex nose evokes ripe grapes.

The beautiful initial impression continues with elegant tannins, full and rounded. This structured wine will improve with a few years in the cellar (up to five to seven) but, even young, this wine already offers a very good impression.
