- Tasting note
- The wine is very pale and ethereal, but it has incredible power and depth. There is great harmony and elegance here, with very good freshness. A light to medium burgundy; nose of smoke, rubber and floral notes; taste of cherry and licorice. Elegant and medium full body with a wonderful balance. The finish lasts with refined tannins.
