    Tasting notes

    Appearance

    Dense and deep, this powerful red offers an invigorating character.

    Aroma

    Notes of red fruit, black cherry and sloe.

    Wine Fruity

    Taste

    Serene on the palate, with elegant tannins, fresh juices follow through to a hint of more pronounced black fruits. It then switches to a more mineral, taut feel.

    I was charmed by this wine's gourmet aromas and flavors! It's full-bodied on the palate and finishes on an unexpected mineral note! Very tasty!

    The Initial cuvée was served with a starter of red tuna tartare, and was well-received for its return to accompany the dessert: a chocolate raspberry coeur coulant. A great success! A great success!
