Tasting Notes

The 2014 vintage presents a dark, deep and opaque ruby red color. The nose reveals a generous, layered and powerful wine bouquet of blueberry, blackberry and blackcurrant, associated with notes of cedar and spices, fine notes of vanilla, nuts, licorice and dark chocolate. Dense and full-bodied, this wine fills the mouth with round, ripe and refined tannins, leaving a general impression of balance, finesse and persistence. Coming from a superb vintage, this wine offers a wonderful combination of elegance and power.
