Tasting Notes
The wine has aromas that combine blackcurrant and blackberry that are superior to oak. The palate reveals a wine with serene concentration, cool fruit and elegant tannins as they are consistent. What stands out is the balance, structure of perfect harmony and absolute pleasure on the palate. The finish leaves a long aftertaste.
