Tasting notes
Vivid ruby. An expansive, hugely perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits, incense, pungent flowers and exotic spices. Fleshy and broad on entry, offering intense blueberry, Chambord, candied lavender and fruitcake flavors sharpened by building spice and mineral notes. Shows outstanding clarity and energy on a strikingly long finish framed by discreet, polished tannins.

Deep shimmering magenta. Intensely perfumed, sharply delineated raspberry and boysenberry liqueur aromas are complicated by suggestions of candied flowers and exotic spices, and a subtle touch of earthiness emerges as the wine opens up. Palate-staining red and blue fruit, spicecake and lavender pastille flavors deepen steadily through the midpalate. Blends power and delicacy with a sure hand and finishes extremely long and spicy, with repeating red berry and floral character and fine-grained, harmonious tannins that come in late.
