Review:
Clear, ruby red in color with purple reflections.
On the olfactory examination the sample opens with floral notes reminiscent of peony, violet and red rose, followed by fruity hints of cherry, durone, raspberry and blackberry. The finish is spicy with elegant notes of vanilla and peppercorns.
Freshness prevails on the palate, combined with a moderate tannic texture, with an aftertaste of rhubarb. It is recommended in combination with roast pigeon.
