Color: Deep ruby red with purple shadows. Nose: Intense and fine with notes of ripe red and black fruit (wild raspberry, cranberries, blackcurrant and blackberries). Notes of cassis and mocha are also present with some sweet spices and vanilla highlighting a very pretty and well integrated complexity from the oak aging. Mouth: Smooth, round tannins provides an elegant entry. The mid-palate is rich and silky, leading towards a very long finish. Balance and elegance are present throughout, with a full and very pleasant mouth feel.
Must was fermented in French oak vats for 15 days at 28C, followed read more...
