Tasting Note

Full ruby. High-pitched aromas of red- and blackcurrant, raspberry, sweet spices, violet and ink, plus a hint of noble cocoa. Sweet and silky but also juicy and vinous, with harmonious acidity providing the flavours of blueberry pie and blackberry reduction with noteworthy clarity and cut. Chewy tannins framing a juicy core of dark berries. Boasts excellent balance and real purity of fruit not to mention mineral edginess on the long vibrant and cocoa-tinged finish. A charming and balanced wine suitable on table providing meats, white fishes, cheeses and chocolate desserts.
