Tasting Notes
Clear, intense ruby red color with garnet reflections of good consistency.
The sample, with floral, fruity, spicy and toasted scents, opens with floral notes reminiscent of red rose and geranium; followed by an aroma of ripe blackberry, currant and black cherry fruit; spicy hints of vanilla and black pepper, toasted cocoa and coffee powder finish. Elegant balsamic note.
The olfactory taste test sample is fresh, intense in its aftertaste and persistent, the closure is balsamic and the quality is fine.
It is recommended in combination with a roasted lamb with aromatic herbs.
