Description
Additional Information

“Red ruby medium, the nose reveals notes of oak, red fruits and spices. The palate is well structured with a marked acidity and soft fruit aromas, slightly austere structure but without aggressiveness, long enough with a final on the red fruits. A wine that will be honest and pleasant by 2013 »
Andreas Larsson, Tasted Journal # 4
