Opaque ruby. Pungent, smoke- and floral-accented aromas of red and dark berry liqueur, with a peppery accent building with air. Juicy, penetrating and alluringly sweet, offering vibrant black raspberry and cherry-cola flavors braced by tangy acidity. Finishes smooth and very long, with resonating violet and cracked pepper notes.

91 Point Review - Stephen Tanzer Inky purple. Sexy aromas of cassis, cherry compote, roasted coffee and smoky herbs. Supple, pliant and fine-grained, with dark berry, spicecake and mocha flavors complemented by some exotic oak tones. This sweet, rich wine shows surprising vivacity on the finish, which is firmed by dusty, fine-grained tannins.
