The aromas are floral of peony and rose with nuances of hyacinth lined with liquorice. They develop in black cherry, nutmeg and cassis. The touch of mouth on the palate is full-bodied with power, the mid-palate is still relatively tannic, but tannins are well coated and velvety, the finish is expressive and of a beautiful complexity. The concentration of this wine is surprising and hides a beautiful density, which will allow to develop very favorably over time. The wine is full-bodied, complex, dense, with notes of fresh blackberry of great purity and a surprising rebound on the finish. Incredible soft tannins supported by a wonderful acidity that provides a remarkable long finish.

Deep, shimmering magenta. Potent, smoke-accented red and blue fruit and floral aromas are complicated by suggestions of incense and allspice. Silky and broad on the palate, offering concentrated black raspberry, boysenberry and bitter cherry flavors that turn sweeter and livelier on the back half. Deep but sharply delineated, delivering strong thrust and rounded tannins that add shape and gentle grip to the impressively long finish.
