About the wine :

A firm, dark red wine with aromas of dark chocolate, black plum and black bean. Medium-bodied, with chewy, slightly rustic tannins. Beautiful notes of chocolate and walnut on the finish. To be tried in 2024.

I don't agree with Hachette's comments. I find it very average, with an unpleasant taste of malbec. A bit of a disappointment
