## Tasting notes

Bright ruby red. Intense, floral nose with hints of slightly macerated geranium from a late harvest. Elegant, soft spice from oak ageing. Very persistent on the palate with good freshness and flavour and a fine verticality, full and persistent tannin with a silky note from the mix of new and used tonneaux.
