Wine Tasting
Critic tasting note: "The nose is fruity and offers some small concentration as well as a fine stretched side. It reveals notes of pulpy cassis, bright sour cherry and slightly cornflowers associated with small touches of crushed cornflowers, sweet spices and a very discreet hint of vanilla. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers juiciness, an acidulous frame, a certain roundness, pulpy as well as radiance. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of bright cassis, violet and slightly licorice associated with touches of wild strawberries, bright little berries, cornflowers as well as fine hints of vanilla and sweet tobacco leaf. Tannins are precise and finely mellow. Good length." - 90/100, VertdeVin
