Tasting Notes
Clear, intense ruby red color with purple textures, consistent.
On the nose the sample opens with an effluvium of floral and fruity scents: slightly withered red wild flowers and dark berry fruits reminiscent of blackberry, currant and cherry in alcohol. The complex olfactory bouquet is completed by spicy notes reminiscent of cinnamon, cardamom and an evident nuance of freshly ground black pepper. Closing with hints of undergrowth.
The sip is important. Good tannic texture which is well smooth and silky. Also good persistence and taste olfactory intensity with mineral aftertaste, which gives a finish that invites you to take a new sip.
It is recommended in combination with a cut of beef with aromatic herbs.
