Tasting notes:    Clean, elegant color is received in the glass. Unusually, it is not the kekfrankos that takes the lead, but the cabernet sauvignon. The style is a little different than usual. It is more elegant, more emphasized, now has a slightly higher tannin content. In addition to the astringent fruits, there are also sweet spices and barrel spices. The rosehip finish is just top of the cake.
