Tasting notes The color is dark garnet. The nose evokes candied black fruits, spices, with a slight smoky / toasted touch. The palate is round, full-bodied, silky, with a fine, fresh and fruity, slightly spicy and decadent. The finish is delicately tannic, on blackberries and spices, followed by a nice sensation of freshness and a persistence on humus and spices.
