Wine tasting The wine has a beautiful deep ruby red color. The nose is intense and fruity. With notes of ripe fruit due to a slight delay in the grape harvest. Elegant and soft spice thanks to the aging in Tonneaux. In the mouth it is very persistent. Good freshness with a nice direct and crunchy impact. Soft and silky tannin thanks to the mix of partly new and partly used Tonneaux.
