Nose

A lot of fruits and freshness in the bouquet, although well inspired
by the terroir. Mineral and chalky notes followed by black and spicy berry scents.

Palate

In
mouth the wine is juicy and refreshing. The perfectly integrated tannins together with
the strong structure offer a well bodied and powerful wine. Beautiful aromatic
expression from the beginning until the finish. A really fresh and inviting wine.
