“ “With a deep garnet color, this wine harmoniously blends berry notes with subtle hints of sweet spices imparted by aging. The woody notes are refined and respectful of the fruit, resulting in a full-bodied, dense texture supported by tannins that are present yet discreet. A beautiful balance.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)

Wine noted (guide 2015) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

About the wine:

With a deep garnet color, this wine harmoniously blends berry notes with subtle hints of sweet spices from its aging. The oak is subtle and respectful of the grape, resulting in a wine with a round, dense body supported by tannins that are present yet discreet. A beautiful balance.
