Bright violet color. Ripe red berry, vanilla and floral scents show very good clarity, picking up a hint of smokiness as the wine stretches. Fresh, pliant and seamless on the palate, offering appealingly sweet black raspberry and cherry liqueur flavors and a touch of mocha. Smooth, even tannins shape the persistent finish, which leaves a hint of candied flowers behind.
Mommessin Reviews
Vivid ruby. Cherry pit, cassis, candied flowers and licorice on the powerfully scented nose. Offers densely packed dark fruit and spicecake flavors that are braced by a spine of juicy acidity and sharpened by a jolt of white pepper. Concentrated yet lively as well, showing excellent delineation, chewy tannins and a very long, floral-accented finish.
Bright violet. Fresh and energetic on the nose and the palate, displaying sappy red fruit and floral pastille qualities and a hint of musky herbs. Sappy and precise, picking up hints of licorice and allspice as the wine opens up. Fine-grained tannins build slowly on a long, incisive finish that emphatically echoes the mineral note.
Lurid ruby. Spice-accented blackberry and licorice scents show very good clarity and lift. Chewy and energetic in the mouth, offering juicy dark fruit and floral pastille flavors sharpened by a dusty mineral flourish. The floral quality carries through a long, nervy finish that leaves a bitter cherry pit note behind.
