Tasting Notes
Clear, ruby red in color with purple reflections, with a good consistency.
On the olfactory examination the sample shows a wide range of perfumes: floral notes of violets and orchids; fruity hints of raspberry and cherry; spicy notes of vanilla, cinnamon and white pepper; hints of tomato leaves and undergrowth.
The sip is fairly balanced between its parts, its freshness and a well-smoothed albeit important tannin are highlighted. The scents highlighted with the olfactory examination are confirmed and a note of sweet spices remains with a fairly persistent finish.
It is recommended in combination with a fillet of green pepper.
