A dark violet colour with rich concentrated coloured tears on the glass. A fine nose with dark and wild fruit characters of blackcurrants and dark cherry. Some toasted, smoked notes with aromas fromthe garrigue, rosemary, spice, pepper, peppermint and liquorice. A flattering pretty and complex nose. A ‘gourmand’ attack on the palate, supple and plump. An elegant wine made in a modern style with finesse.
