A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Intense black fruit and spicy aromas. Lingering aftertaste enhanced by a balanced acidity.
The violet robe is transparent. The extremely fresh nose expresses intense black fruit notes. Hints of cedar mingle with the aroma of Morello cherries. The elegant palate possesses a bold attack followed by a magnificent breadth, the sophisticated velvety tannins evoke crisp black fruits. The whole is underlined by a restrained woodiness with a subtle liquorice redolence. The finish is long and persistent.
