Sofros “P&M” 2018

Print datasheet

Wine tasting:

Colour… and what an attractive and bright colour of violet shades.
Memories of harvest fruit, joy, gifts and flowers, ripe fruit, friendship…
On the palate it is a whim of sensations, fruity and fresh, complex and harmonious, memories of wood and dried prunes, cocoa.
PM at its finest.
Due to its tannic charge and artisanal preparation, the wine may present precipitations with the passing of time in the bottle.
