·
Intense reddish-purple color in
the glass. Subdued aromas of dark red fruits framed by toast and sweet smoke.
A discreet and sensual wine offering strawberry and raspberry fruit with an
underpinning of brisk acidity highlighted by a citrus peel note on the tangy finish.
A great food wine. Fine the next day from a previously opened and re-corked
bottle. Very good.
