Winemaker notes

Beautiful dark ruby color and clear. The nose, complex and very pleasant, reveals notes of black fruits and empyreumatic, then with aeration, the scents of cooked fruit. The wine has a nice freshness and found notes of licorice and spicy. The silky tannins give a lingering aroma. This Grand Cru has a full and balanced structure which suggests a good aging potential.
