A bright, light ruby robe. The taster is met with a very open nose, unleashing a lot of energy; the nose – both sunny and fresh – is focused, and comprises mixed notes of spices, orange peel, herbes de Provence and ripe, red, even jammy, fruits. This sensation of crushed leaves, showing a fresh, menthol flavour as well as a discreet acidity is picked up on the palate. Typical liquorice aromas revolve around sweet tannins – a sign of the wonderfully ripe grapes. The tasting ends on a tart and tonic note of cherry stone.
