Written Notes

Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. A very elegant wine with great freshness and fruit reminiscent of blackcurrants and blackcurrant spurs, fresh sloe and hints of raspberries. Refined floral components, oriental spices, cocoa and hints of vanilla in the background. On the palate refined character, well structured with ripe tannins, fine acidity and complemented by juicy fruit and discreet spiciness, showing excellent length and a promising potential.

Tasted in May 2021. 58% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Fragrant raspberries on the nose, elegant with finesse on the palate, sleek with delicate balance and smooth finish. Very solid wine but it could use some more concentration and depth.
