Cadran Rouge

Description

Intense black cherry colour with clear pink glints. The nose presents well-ripened notes of dark berries, accompanied by liquorice and cherry stones. The palate is full-bodied, sustained by a pleasant freshness, with creamy, refined tannins, and a seductive, fruity texture. The well-balanced structure is coated with a hint of spice and liquorice that enhances the red berry flavours.
