Vivid ruby. Ripe and perfumed on the nose, displaying energetic red and blue fruit aromas and a hint of white pepper. Broad, sappy and seamless in the mouth, offering sweet black raspberry and boysenberry flavors with a suggestion of spicecake. The berry notes resonate on the smooth, clinging, gently tannic finish, which shows no rough edges.
Deep ruby. Spicy red and dark berries on the perfumed nose, with hints of licorice and dried flowers adding complexity. Sappy black raspberry and floral pastille flavors spread out and gain sweetness with air. Combines richness and vivacity smoothly, finishing with gentle tannic grip, very good persistence and an echo of fresh flowers.
