Dégustation
The colour is dark red, with some slightly tile-like highlights.
The nose is particularly expressive with notes of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), very ripe, to which are added some touches of spices and liquorice.
On the palate, there is volume and a very nice structure. The black fruit aromas (blackberry), already perceived on the nose, are found here, where they blend elegantly with some woody notes. The tannins are of great finesse. This is a wine with good ageing potential, but which can be enjoyed now, if desired.
