Transparent ruby and bright, with notes of lavender and cherry, rose hip and pomegranate, has a light dry flower layer. A dynamic vibration of red orange opens the vital sip with its classic tannin designed by an austere but fresh grip. The long finish is tasty and elegant with notes of aromatic herbs, black cherries, mint and licorice root.
