Tasting Notes
Its color reveals a deep red hue with ruby highlights. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet combining ripe red fruits, cocoa, balsamic notes, and subtle spicy touches. On the palate, the attack is full and harmonious, with a fine balance between sweetness, the controlled bitterness of quinine, and slightly chocolatey fruity flavors.
