Tasting notes
Deep red. Sexy Asian spices and incense complement fresh strawberry and raspberry preserves on the nose. Luscious, alluringly sweet red berry flavors offer liqueur-like intensity but are firmed by juicy minerality. Very suave, with lovely sweetness and clarity. You could drink this now.

Dark red. Strong sandalwood and patchouli scents accent ripe raspberry and strawberry. Intense liqueur-like red fruits on the palate, with a strong wallop of vanillin oak and a hint of dark chocolate on the back. Finishes on a sweet note, with supple tannins.
Chez Goedhuis : Quite low-key sweet nose. Easy, round and scented. Rich and powerful. Lots of tannins but well constituted for a decent long life. Chez Genesis : Comfortable as an old pair of slippers. Rather jewelly fruity palate with some fine tannins underneath. Not going for gold but a very agreeable bronze for drinking! (JR)
