Wine tasting The wine has a beautiful, intense ruby-red color. On the nose, it is intense and fruity, with notes of ripe fruit due to a slight delay in the grape harvest. Elegant and smooth spice thanks to aging in Tonneaux. On the palate, it is very persistent. Good freshness with a nice, direct and crisp impact. Soft and silky tannins thanks to the mix of partly new and partly used Tonneaux barrels.
