Tasting
A brilliant, intense cherry-red colour. On the nose, it displays a broad range of aromas, with notes of roasting, red fruit, liquorice and ripe grapes creating a picture that is as powerful as it is complex. Supported by solid tannins, the structure of the palate is in no way inferior to the bouquet.
