Deep, brilliant garnet. Spice-accented red berries, vanilla and candied flowers on the perfumed nose, with a smoky nuance emerging as the wine opens up. Sappy, appealingly sweet and focused on the palate, offering juicy raspberry and cherry preserve. Rose pastille flavors smoothly blend power and delicacy. Fine-grained and seamless in texture, finishing extremely long and floral, with resonating spiciness and smooth, well-knit tannins.
