Tasting : This wine has a deep, dark and intense garnet colour. In the nose we have a floral smell with rose and peony who develop to a sugary aniseed taste like liquorice. In the mouth, the wine is greedy and silky, the taste is with minty aromas. Tannins are supple.
Aging potential : 5 to 7 years.
