Comment
«This is a pure Merlot aged in vats which offers a supple and very pleasant structure, with subtle and delicately spicy fruit. The tannins are melted and silky, the amplitude of the mouth, the persistence form a whole of very good quality, without excess, that one will drink with pleasure on grilled meat or marinated meat. At this price level, it is unstoppable.»
