Nif Bağları Aegean Shiraz Sangiovese Merlot 2014 :

Points : 7/10 Price : 67 TL at carrefour gourmet but only 50 TL at La Cave 3 grapes for an unlikely and surprising blend… Black fruits, oaky note, vanilla and pepper on the nose. On the palate the taste of the barrel is still here, spices are also here with a taste of tobacco….
