A clear luminous deep violet wine with developed aromas of ripe grapes and oaks. In the mouth, it is a lively well bodied wine with prolonged finish and lingering aftertaste of complex spicy flavors. This wine has a distinct personality with a remarkable ability to display the virtues of the Lebanese terroir. |
