Organoleptic description:
The liquid crunchiness. The secret of her beauty doesn’t instantly bloom by the nose, where she hides herself, but it’s in the mouth where she exudes. The thick skin rich of tannins confers to the wine a unique taste: dried fruits, smooth tannins and a long, persistent, mineral ending. After a sip we get the perception of crunching the wine.
