2. Sommelier's Notes
Appearance: Bright cherry red with intense violet hues on the rim, characteristic of its youth and freshness.
Nose: A frank and very intense aromatic attack. Notes of wild red berries like raspberries, strawberries, and currants predominate, with a very subtle floral background.
Palate: Pleasant and refreshing entry. On the palate it is light but with a persistent fruit load. Round and polished tannins that invite a second sip.
