Our oenologists' opinion
Fruity and well-rounded
The nose is frank and expressive, revealing notes of roasted bell pepper, spices, and candied black fruits, before opening up with a touch of licorice.
The attack is supple, marked by a beautiful envelope, freshness, and controlled balance.
The palate, frank and racy, displays an elegant character of candied pepper and morello cherries, with a beautiful fruity finish.
The finish, persistent and subtly animalistic, underscores the assertive personality of this wine.

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.
