Very modern packaing with an unusual bottle shape. Lovely sweet, supple, enticing red wine with aromas of black cherries, plums and blackcurrants, and a subtle but pleasant green note. The palate is ripe and sweet, supple and textured with smooth black cherry fruit. It&#8217;s almost liqueur-like. Modern yet fresh and very stylish, and after a while in the glass some peppery notes emerge. 91\/100 (\u00a314.95 Caviste)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was interested by this wine.
