Tasting note:
The sustained ruby color leads naturally to smells and flavors of red fruits such as raspberry and cranberry complemented by cassis, a touch of oak, some acetone, eucalyptus tree leaves and mint. With a dry character and balanced acidity, its true red fruit expression is highlighted leading to a medium length finish.
