Highly perfumed red fruit liqueur, candied licorice and exotic spice qualities on the nose, along with a sexy floral nuance... Stains the palate with deeply concentrated Chambord, cherry cola, lavender pastille and spicecake flavors that show surprising energy for the wine's lushness and power. Finishes very long and smooth, with velvety tannins framing resonating red fruit and floral notes.
...a big bouquet of blackberries, ground pepper, roasted herbs, licorice, and graphite. It's rich, full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, and has fine tannins.
Plump and lively, featuring expressive blackberry and smoky peppered beef notes that balance a plush texture with snappy acidity.
