Our oenologists' opinion
Fruity and well-rounded
A dark, clear and brilliant wine, with an intense black colour and violet hues.
The nose is initially quite closed, with a slight hint of reduction, before opening up to reveal notes of sweet spices, black pepper and stewed black fruits, with a delicate floral touch of violet.
The attack is supple, underpinned by a fine balance.
The supple, silky tannins lend a rich, indulgent quality.
On the palate, it displays a distinctive character marked by spices and black pepper, with a lovely, enveloping texture and fullness.
The finish is long, with a full-bodied conclusion enlivened by a subtle hint of chilli, which adds a lively touch to the whole.

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.
