A magnificent garnet color with ruby reflections.
The nose reveals notes of black fruits as well as some very delicate floral nuances (violet, rose). Lightly toasted notes like coffee add character and depth.
In the mouth, a very beautiful harmony. An underlying freshness supports the wine and brings a committed finish with intense tannins that bring depth.
