Tasting notes

Colour : Garnet with purple highlights.
Nose : Dominated by ripe red fruits with jammy notes. A sense of sweetness with pastry and vanilla, followed by more discreet notes of undergrowth and truffle.
Palate : Fleshy yet refined and elegant. Lovely acidity providing tension and freshness. Flavors of raspberry and cherry with a touch of kirsch, along with dark chocolate. The finish is oaked, with roasted and toasted notes. Good length.
