This bright and brilliant wine has a dark cherry red color.
With the nose, we have expressive and pleasant smells ( chocolate, oak wood, black olive, cedar wood).
In the mouth, we have a fruity smoothy attack.
This wine has a full-bodied evolution.
To finish, we can smell a nice fruity after-taste (after tannins).
It is a young wine: the fruitness gives the roundness.
This wine is not very light.

It has an expressive nose : we can smell a lot of odours of red and black fruits like strawberry, cherry and even a little bit black pepper. We can feel an explosion of black olive, wood, smoked.

This red wine is nice, fruity, round, rich, full in the mouth. We have the pleasure of the fruityness. We have a liquorice taste which stays in the front of the mouth.
