Intense dark purple in colour with a vibrant violet rim. Expressive on the nose with aromas of ripe blackcurrant, plum, spice and lifted floral notes. The tannins are soft and silky, the acidity fresh and the flavour profile focused and linear.

Intensive Noten von Cassis, Pflaumen, Gewürzen und Blumen. Dazu kommen cremige Töne von Vanille und dunkler Schokolade. Der körperreiche Gaumen hat eine lebendige, natürliche Säure und saftige Pflaumen- und Cassisfrucht. Feine, seidige Tannine und eine großartige Länge bilden das Finale.
