Tasting notes : « This wine has a very bright, beautifully intense purple colour. The nose is dominated by fresh blackcurrants and blackberries, underscored by light woody notes that remain in the background. The palate is very round and generous, with notes of roasted coffee and chocolate on the finish. Wellbalanced acidity, very pleasant to drink.»
