Our oenologists' opinion
Powerful bouquet
The nose is characterised by notes of roasted pepper and toasted oak, before opening up to reveal spices and a hint of roasted black fruits.
The attack is supple, carried by a lovely balance.
The palate develops with a clean, lingering finish, beautifully rounded, revealing a distinct character marked by herbs and spices.
The finish is clean, with a delicious persistence dominated by roasted black fruits, bringing depth and intensity.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.
