Dégustation

This Grande Cuvée is a very elegant and intense deep red colour with scattered purple highlights.
The rich, complex nose features delicate notes of black fruit (morello cherry) along with a touch of beeswax and Virginia tobacco.
The wine starts out smooth and straightforward on the palate, going on to display beautiful structure, as well as delicious ripe red and black fruit flavours. It is altogether concentrated and well-balanced. The tannin is smooth and the aftertaste features nuances of sweet spice (cinnamon).The wine shows considerable vivaciousness and freshness that make it very appetising.
