Tasting notes
This wine showcases a deep garnet color with an intensely floral bouquet featuring lilacs, violets, and roses, accompanied by notes of licorice, espresso, black raspberries, black cherries, and red currants. On the palate, it is rich and elegant with a majestic sense of lift and purity. The wine's complexity is enhanced by its oceanic influence, which adds layers of dark red, black, and blue fruits, along with a hint of spice. The seamless finish lingers long after the wine has left the glass. It blends 60% Cabernet Franc with 40% Merlot, offering a refined and intense experience.
