Tasting notes : On the nose, a fruity intensity prevails and one can detect pomegranate, red berry and blood orange notes in this delicate aromatic complexity. A few subtle floral hints are also released and followed by notes and butter and brioche. On the palate, the attack is intense and bold. This wine has character. It is rich, long and broad, with a complex persistent finish.
