Tasting note:
Inky red color. Fruity but compact, almost monolithic, it alternates between the delicacy of the fruit and an intensely mineral profile surprising by the softness of the tannins, the aromatic depth and the vehemence of the structure. Tense and serious, it is a strict and well-mannered red that presents itself as fine and elegant.
