A soft, young ruby colour, this wine has a discreet, delicate nose revealing notes of cherry, plum, blackberry and raspberry. The balance on the palate is harmonious, with tannins that are present but well blended. Tasting reveals a fruity, velvety and simple experience, accompanied by a subtle note of sap and liquorice on the finish. Its aromatic character is both supple and round, delicately underlining the absence of oak, which highlights the purity of the fruity flavours.
