Deep purple centre with pink rim describes the youthfulness of the wine. Black cherry and raspberry aromas denotes its fruitiness which is rounded off by subtle aromas of chocolate and spicy notes from the French oak. On the palate the wine has a soft entry with notes of pepper and hints of mocha. A very adaptable wine that can be enjoyed at a light lunch, hearty dinner or simply on its own.
