Tasting note
Bright ruby. Pungent cherry, blackcurrant and botanical herbs on the nose, with a slow-building floral nuance and a hint of peppery spices. Sappy dark berry flavors show very good intensity and gain spiciness and smokiness with air. Supple tannins gain power on the gently gripping finish, which leaves a note of bitter cherry behind. Score - 90. (Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar, Nov./Dec. 2012)
Under the cherry-red colour, the nose is medium and complex. Enjoy this dry, full-bodied and spicy red featuring refreshing acidity. On the palate, it showcases fleshy tannins and a full-bodied mouthfeel that leads into a long finish.
