Tasting Notes

Brick-coloured, with golden nuances. Its elegant and complex bouquet is characterised by flavours of ripe fruit, compotes and nuts, with hints of vanilla, raisins and jelly. In the palate, the balance between the richness of the grapes' natural sugars and its tannins give the wine a fine structure and a delicate, yet complex finish.
