Nose
Its balanced alcohol content brings to the fore its blackberry aroma.
Palate
The wine is characterized by a fine tannin structure due to the predominance of Merlot, while the notes of Cabernet Franc give the wine its frame and structure. Due to the short maturation in Hungarian oak barrels used several times, the fruit world of the wine is the determining factor against the “barrique notes”. Its balanced alcohol content brings to the fore its blackberry taste notes, which are nicely supported by the body of the wine. A fine-structured, fruity, elegant, but substantial “Pannohnalm Bordeaux”.
