Tasting Notes: 100% Pinot Noir. Dense and sustained color, the freshness and intensity of its fruitiness charm us from its youth. Over the years, the mouth displays an ample and silky roundness. A fruitiness evolving towards macerated cherry, stone, licorice, and fine balsamic scents as well as very fine animal nuances.
