Our oenologists' opinion
Fruity and well-rounded
Black colour with purple highlights. Straightforward nose of blackcurrant coulis, with notes of candied pepper. Hints of boxwood. Full-bodied attack, full and round. Frank, greedy and well-balanced. Character of candied red fruit and herbs. Good length with a frank, greedy finish and lovely character.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.
