Floral nuances, candied violets and hibiscus, hints of oriental sweet spice, a touch of fine oak, blackberries, some blueberry, dark minerality. Complex, full-bodied, pronounced in fruit texture, ripe tannins, carried by a fresh acidity, salty nuances in the finish. Convincing length, cool, ripe fruit in the finish, good ageing potential.

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, faint brightening on the rim. Intense floral nuances, candied violet and hibiscus, sweet hints of oriental savouriness, fine noble wood savouriness, blackberry, nuances of blueberry, dark minerality. Complex, substantial, pronounced in fruit velvety texture, ripe tannins, supported by fresh acid structure, salty nuances on the finish, confident long finish, cool, ripe fruit in the background, sure ageing potential for many years. Great wine.
