Vivid ruby. A highly perfumed, expressive bouquet evokes ripe red berries, exotic spices and potpourri, and a smoky mineral nuance adds lift and urgency. Sweet and expansive on the palate, offering concentrated raspberry liqueur, spicecake and lavender pastille flavors that spread out steadily with air. Blends power and finesse with a sure hand and finishes extremely long and smooth, with fine-grained tannins making a late appearance
