Nose
Woody vanilla nose, finish with notes of sloe, black currant and iris flower.
Palate
Mouth of a beautiful sensuality through a tender and pure fruity palette, fresh and
crisp, a nice long finish. Healthy and good.
Lovely cassis and vanilla nose, but this is quite tight and tannic, and you need to be a little bit patient for this to shine as brightly as it will.
