Color: deep, bright ruby with garnet highlights. Nose: expressive and complex, with cassis, blackberry, black cherry, violet and peony. With aeration, smoky notes, black pepper, liquorice and subtle minerality emerge. Palate: broad and structured on the attack. The tannic framework is fine yet firm. Dark fruits, cocoa, damp earth and sweet spices lead to a long, savoury finish. Comment: beautiful density and a remarkable balance between power and freshness.
