Viu 1 – Seventh Edition 2007
February 2016Tasting Notes
Intensely violet in colour, on the nose sumptuous notes of black cherry, plum and bramble are backed up by just a hint of nutmeg and leather. In the mouth blueberry and coconut give way to big yet round tannins which are backed up by abundant mineral notes and a well balanced acidity. All of these factors combine to give an elegant, lush finish.
Serving temperature: 17° to 18°C.
