This bright ruby-red wine has violet hues. To the nose, it expresses fruity scents that recall cherry and blackberry. To the palate, it appears quite rustic, dissolving its edginess to leave space for more complex aromatic sensations where ripened fruit flanks an extremely elegant tannic texture. Just a bit spicy at the finish, it maintains a good level of freshness and persistence.
