Wine tasting
Pretty, delicate, ruby red in color. The nose is both light and very frank, opening up to aromas of concentrated strawberries, raspberries and licorice. While it charms the palate, this wine is as ample as one would like and the woody smell and fruity scents ally in perfect lasting harmony. A wine worth keeping !
