🍇 Tasting Notes
-
Color: A beautiful, clear, deep ruby red.
-
Aroma: A pleasantly expressive nose bursting with fresh red fruits (raspberry, cherry), intertwined with classic notes of wild herbs like thyme and rosemary, and a touch of sweet spice.
-
Palate: Fruity and wonderfully smooth with a supple texture. It's lively and "crunchy" with fruit, offering excellent balance and a generous, good length on the finish. The tannins are soft, making it incredibly approachable right now.
