Tasting

Beautiful sustained pink bright color, with cherry reflections. Limpid and shiny dress. End, fruity, which opens on pretty notes of raspberry, redcurrant. The attack is fleshy and coated, well balanced with beautiful flavors. Fresh and cute, there is a good length with notes of red fruit, revealing character and volume. The finish is marked by freshness and finesse.
