Tasting notes
Opaque violet. Highly perfumed aromas of ripe cherry and dark berries, candied flowers, exotic spices and botanical herbs. Juicy and chewy in texture, offering bitter cherry, blackberry and spicecake flavors that show fine definition and turn sweeter as the wine opens up. Finishes on a resonating floral note, showing strong tenacity, well-judged tannins and persistent spiciness.

Youthful purple. Expressive, mineral-accented aromas of black raspberry, cherry, game and violet pick up olive and licorice nuances with air. Juicy, focused and appealingly sweet, offering energetic red and blue fruit, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that turn deeper and spicier as the wine stretches out. The floral and mineral notes drive an impressively long, focused finish that features harmonious tannins and a touch of bitter chocolate.
