Ruby red robe with slight raspberry glints. The nose starts out very fresh with tart red fruit prevailing(particularly red currant). The palate of aromas then ranges out to discrete floral with a touch of spice (peony, carnation, pepper). After airing, the nose becomes really mellow, highlighting the wine's finesse.The attack is crunchy and lively, the freshness is underlined by a hint of fresh mint. The silky tannins give a suave sensation in the palate. The dominant flavours are red fruit (cherry) backed up by a peppery note, finishing with a delicate touch of vanilla. Well-balanced. Pairs best with mixed salads, poultry, delicatessen meats, characterful cheese, as aperitif.
