TASTING NOTES

Intense deep brillant color with a garnet touch and purple shades. Complex nose with a diverse aromatic palette, between power and freshness : black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), toasted and balsamic notes (lavender, rosemary, cistus). Aromatic and tonic mouth, very dynamic on firm and melted tannins. Long and persistent finish, very aromatic.
