Rating: 3.0/5
This ruby-hued Claret shows a clear appearance, typical of a well-matured Red Bordeaux. With lifted aromas of blackberry and strawberry, the nose is moderately expressive, showcasing a mix of fruitiness. On the palate, this wine proves smooth in texture and fine-grained in feel, with low tannins complemented by medium acidity and a Medium-minus flavour intensity.
