The shiny with tile reflection appearance is followed by a nose evoking the liquorice, with a discreet note of undergrowth, just waiting to be released. The tannins, silky and spicy, maintain a harmonious and complex palate, fairly cool with a lingering note of liquorice.

Tasting

Adorned with a beautiful garnet appearance, this wine has a nose of red berries after a little aeration. The palate is a good balance bewteen red fruits and tannins melted with a hint of liquorice. It is a pleasing wine, easy to drink straight away. It will be even better, if opened one hour before tasting.
