2. Sommelier's Notes
Appearance: Deep ruby color with vibrant purple highlights. Shows great brilliance and a generous "tears" that denotes its concentration.
Nose: Ripe black fruit like cassis and cherry, intertwined with layers of vanilla, mocha, and a very elegant earthy background typical of the valley.
Palate: Lush and velvety texture. Broad entry with mature tannins and a long, warm, sophisticated finish that invites a second sip.
