Tasting

Its colour is a beautiful, brilliant, transparent garnet red. It has a complex, heady bouquet of peony, rose and violet. The attack is
open and peppery, followed by a subtle touch that evokes a flight of aromas in a sensation of airy lightness. The lingering fruit explodes in the finish, crackling in the mouth for one hundred percent pure pleasure.
