Tasting Notes

This wine’s intense and bright red tone is offset by the occasional violet glimmer.
Its bouquet is young and fruity; hints of plum and strawberry combine with the toasty quality yielded by barrel aging.

To the palette, it is frank. The striking and fresh fruit beginning is balanced by sweet and still young tannins.
