Bright ruby red color. The nose is fine and elegant with notes of red currant and cherry-type fruit. The palate is very well balanced with a nice attack, tannins are discrete and melted. Notes of currants, cherries, cassis with a minty edge appear in the middle palate. The liveliness allows to keep the aromas of this wine with great complexity of this vintage 2014.
