Opinion

Palate

Very deep, both ripe and tense, it presents very intense, precise and well defined aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant) and blood orange, marked by mineral notes.

The team of the domain

Enchanting nose of ripe and juicy fruits with hints of spices and candied ginger. Powerful, dense and structured palate with a lot of energy. Full and homogeneous finish. The wine is very young but understandable.
