Ruby-red robe and a warm, inviting nose of black fruit and forest floor aromas. On the palate this wine is surprisingly elegant, with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant and liquorice and some fine tannins. A supple, clean, poised wine that is both ripe yet refreshing. Some might say it is not typical of the Corbières; it is, however, very much in the style of our Terroirs range.
