A very open aroma with vibrant notes of red fruits (raspberry, strawberry) and black fruits (blackberry, cassis). Nuances of sweet spices, licorice, and tobacco leaves are also felt, giving a complex yet fresh impression.

The palate is well-balanced, refreshing and vibrant. It has a firm concentration, yet a pleasantly smooth texture, creating perfect harmony. It is full of lively energy and has a long finish.

The wine offers a wide range of flavors, from fresh fruit to spices, cigar box, and even a smoky minerality that reflects the Graves terroir. It is a very complex and appealing wine, combining harmony and smoothness.
