Notes:

Deep dark purple in colour and with a spicy nose bringing liquorice, dark cherries and raspberries.

Palate is sooth, and perhaps with a bit too much tanning. Raspberries and dark cherries mix with a touch of leather. This being what the winery calls modern Saint Emilion, the effect of Cabernet Franc are almost inexistent.

Medium length, and elaborated but not complex, this wine may benefit from a few more years in the bottle in order for it to develop.
