## Tasting notes

Garnet red of good intensity. Clear aromas of plum and small fruits, light touches of liquorice and spice. Good body and harmonious, with a slight tannic edge that points to a long life. The site adds for Neirane: floral notes of violet and red fruit and a marked elegance from the sandy soil.
