Tasting
A flattering nose combining aromas of raspberry jam and blackcurrant, enhanced by subtle notes of dark chocolate and a touch of freshness reminiscent of eucalyptus. On the palate, the attack is silky and the wine is remarkably well-balanced, with a lovely sweetness in the middle. There are notes of garrigue and refined spices such as cardamom. The elegant, velvety finish is a fine extension of this complex aromatic palette.
