A deep ruby color, clear and bright, with an expressive nose of black fruit jam, fine tannins, and a lovely oakiness.

Elegant and well-structured, with a spicy length and delicate herbaceous notes. Finishes with white pepper.​

Matière élégante et bien structurée, longueur épicée avec des fines notes herbacées. Finale sur le poivre blanc.
