Tasting notes
Colour: intense garnet red with orange reflections. Nose: very elegant, fine and delicate, with fresh red fruit, especially morello cherry, balsamic hints from a balanced use of French oak, and rose. Palate: very delicate. The tannin is present but well balanced with the alcohol. Body and structure are there, but elegance is the dominant trait.
