Our oenologists' opinion

Powerful bouquet

Tiled colour with mahogany highlights. Nose to be opened of cocoa, liquorice, juniper. Good balance on a fairly full-bodied wine, nice character on notes of dried fruit, cocoa, hint of tobacco. The finish is quite long and tense. Wine to be decanted and for amateurs.

Robe
Tawny

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.
