Tasting notes
Vivid ruby. Sexy, spice-accented red berries and flowers on the nose, with deeper notes of black olive and licorice that gain strength with air. Sappy and precise, offering sweet raspberry and cherry compote flavors as well as nuances of spice cake and violet pastille. Suave and impressively pure, with excellent finishing clarity and length. This seductive wine will drink well young but has the balance to age.

Deep red. Bright red and dark berry aromas are complemented by mustard seed, cracked pepper, violet and minerals, with a subtle smokiness emerging with air. Chewy black raspberry and cassis flavors are framed by dusty tannins and show a tangy edge on the back end. Aeration brought out a sweetness that lingers on the nicely persistent, spicy finish.
