Charles Frey Quintessence Pinot Noir 2016

Dark coloured with purplish highlights testifying of a beautiful ripeness. It reveals black fruits and spices aromas that develop on the palate in a majestic manner around grilled and lightly toasted flavours. Its structure is rich and tannic, with an incredible length on the finish. Floral nose opening after a few moments towards rose petals notes. The attack is powerful and round, revealing beatiful exotic shades. Its finish is long-lasting with a roundness and fatness that leaves an affirmed sensuality on the palate.
