"On the nose, blackcurrant is omnipresent, then aeration reveals more complex aromas of cooked fruit and leather. Blackcurrant is combined with a lemony note on a full, fresh palate, built on well-melted tannins. The tasting ends on a fine woody vanilla and smoky note". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015) A very sunny Mediterranean character that will go perfectly with this Moussaka recipe.
