Tasting notes
Inky ruby. A deeply perfumed bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, Indian spice, olive and cracked pepper, and a smoky mineral nuance emerges with air. Fleshy and broad on the palate, offering deeply concentrated cassis and blueberry flavors and an exotic suggestion of fruitcake. Well-knit tannins frame a long, penetrating finish that leaves sappy dark fruit and mineral notes behind.

Dark purple. Pungent, highly perfumed scents of fresh dark berries, licorice, incense and Indian spices carry a building mineral note. Lively and precise on the palate, offering sappy black and blue fruit and bitter cherry flavors that show impressive depth and a complementary hint of peppery spices. Becomes sweeter with air with no loss of vivacity and finishes extremely long, displaying excellent clarity and supple tannins that add shape and grip.
