The nose exudes fruity aromas with notes of wild berries, plum and peach. The palate is bursting with the flavour of candy; it is full-bodied, velvety, and very smooth. Harmonious with a long finish. May be enjoyed now for its fruitiness or laid down for 3 to 5 years or more if stored in a wine cellar. Serve between 14°C and 16°C. (57°F - 60°F).
