Bright ruby. Powerful raspberry and blackcurrant aromas are complemented by smoked meat, violet and hot asphalt. Impressively sweet red and dark berry flavors are brightened by zesty minerality, which adds focus to the long, sappy finish. Offers a suave blend of sweetness and vivacity.

Deep ruby. Powerful aromas of creme de cassis, mulberry and apricot are strongly marked by spicy, vanillin oak. Remarkably less oaky on the palate, with rich, sweet dark berry and strawberry flavors lifted by zesty acidity. This boasts excellent focus and verve for a wine with such richness and body. Finishes with chewy but harmonious tannins and very good length.
