Tasting notes:
This wine presents a quite pale ruby hue with a watery rim, hinting at its youthful character. The nose is invitingly chocolatey, with intriguing notes of caramel that suggest a rich complexity. On the palate, it delivers an abundance of flavors featuring creamy milk chocolate and caramel intertwined with ripe strawberry undertones. The finely chewy tannins provide a pleasant structure, while a refreshing lift on the finish adds balance, though the oak influence is notably pronounced. There’s a mineral quality to the wine, complemented by layers of tobacco leaf, blackberry, and subtle hints of blueberries and cherries.
