Tasting Notes

A well-balanced wine: notes of liquorice and fruits (blackcurrant, strawberry, black cherry) on the nose. The same in the mouth, very expressive and full of flavor; blackberry, raspberry, also tobacco and cedar. A full-bodied wine, long, intense and velvety tannins. A desirable pleasure to finish.
