NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, Holden Manz Visionaire presents a bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and oak.These aromas are inviting and give a glimpse into the complexity that awaits.
Upon tasting, this wine reveals a well-balanced structure with velvety tannins and a medium to full body. The flavors of black fruits continue to dominate, with additional notes of dark chocolate and a touch of vanilla. The integration of oak is seamless, providing a gentle framework that enhances the overall experience.
