Wine Description
This vintage presents a deep ruby colour with violet reflections. The bouquet is expressive, offering aromas of black cherries, candied violets, coconut, mint, and a subtle cedar note. On the palate, it is full-bodied and vibrant, showing ripe raspberry, plum, and blackberry fruit with floral and mineral undertones. The tannins are velvety and well-integrated, balanced by lively acidity. The finish is long, savoury, and elegant, underpinned by notes of nougat and fine spice.
