Tasting note
This vintage 2008, with a beautiful ruby red color, has some very intense red berries aromas and spicy notes. It presents the very characteristic cassis nose.
In the mouth, we have a great aromatic attack, very fruity with ripe and silky tannins.
This is a round, elegant and very "gourmand” wine which needs one or two years of patience to express all its charms.
