Tasting notes
Inky ruby. Fresh, spice-tinged cherry, blackberry and smoky minerals on the nose, with a sexy floral nuance gaining power with air. Silky and sappy in the mouth, offering vibrant blackberry and bitter cherry flavors and a touch of vanilla. Juicy acidity lifts and focuses the spice-dominated finish, which features supple tannins and a touch of mocha.

Vivid ruby. Aromas of dark berry liqueur, cherry-cola, anise and cracked pepper. Deeply pitched black raspberry and blueberry flavors are complemented by suave floral pastille and vanilla accents. Plush and seamless on the finish, featuring spicecake and cherry compote nuances. This open-knit wine should be enjoyable soon after release but it appears to have the balance to age.
