This successful blend, based on Grenache (80%) and Syrah, expresses itself fully on red fruit, with hints of spice (black pepper), menthol and licorice. The palate is round and well coated with silky tannins, exhaling aromas of prunes. Balance is achieved with a fresh finish that prolongs the black fruit aromas.

Good value for money. lack of bouquet. I don't plan to buy it again, I've found better wine with a much faster and more precise delivery service.
