Tasting
Fresh nose featuring notes of red and black fruit (raspberry, blackcurrant...) underscored by floral aromas (rose, violet...) and a pleasing touch of minerality. Scrumptious and velvety on the palate, this wine's structure, which is built on bold yet soft tannins, lends it perfect balance. Lovely, fresh finish bursting with fruit.
