Tasting notes of Termes
Termes has a ripe cherry red colour with ruby reflections. Clean and bright.
Good intensity with hints of black fruits, spicy notes and tobacco leaf. Serious, ample and with a mineral background that adds depth and elegance.
Expressive entry, friendly, good breadth and balanced. Reminiscences of ripe black fruits, cinnamon, cedar and menthol notes in the background that add depth. The tannin is sweet and gentle with a good acidity that makes it long and expressive.
