Tasting

It reveals itself in an attractive transparent robe with purple highlights. Its delicate perfume is discreet and soft, soothing, like that of a baby. On the palate, wild notes of crunchy black berries and spices dance around a precise, juicy structure. Peppery and dense, it feels like thick, soft red velvet, at once light and falling. Comforting in its presence and solidity, it retains the delicacy of Pinot Noir, a blend of infused roses and black cherries.
