Tastng notes
Medium intense pretty cherry hue with violet rim. On the nose it is fresh and sweet in equal parts…. Hints of orange peel, subtle undertones of laurel and dill, red fruit (strawberries, redcurrants), blue flowers (lilac, violets), faintly lactic, reminiscent of blackcurrant yoghurt…. Lots of fun. In the mouth it is fleshy, with silky, polished tannins, a feeling of sweetness at the beginning, notes of pastries and spices, very long and both fresh and floral, with a silky and seductive aftertaste.
