General

Tasting Notes:The colour is both brilliant and attractive. The bouquet is very expressive slightly oaks with hints of vanilla and ripe fruit. Starts out full-bodied and rich on the palate with a lovely fruity flavour. Good, well-balanced tannins and a long aftertaste. Caractère is a harmonious wine that will become even softer with age.
