This wine is renowned for its complexity. The red one is powerful and subtle, fruity and full-bodied on the palate. That’s why it is wiser to be with a specialist during your tasting so as to feel all the subtleties of these superb vintages. The white one is very soft, characteristics of sun-drenched wines very round and aromatic, quite mellow, flowery and fruity.
