This wine boasts a robust aroma of red berries mingled with black fruits, a touch of oak, and spices. On the palate, it is relatively elegant despite its high alcohol content (15%!). It's tasty, not overly complex, and slightly green. This wine merits a more thorough exploration in the future.

Et Cetera
