Trial analysis
Deep red with purple reflections. A glass full of sunshine, ripe red berries, a touch of freshly ground pepper and pleasant spice. Broad on the attack, with juicy tannins, a smooth texture and above all a fleshy character. The oak ageing is very well integrated and in balance with the fruit. An easygoing southern wine with grip and class!
