“Vivid ruby. Penetrating perfume of cherry, blackberry and fresh flowers. Ripe, sappy and sweet, with firm acidity giving tension and lift to its sweet dark fruit flavors. Shows a tactile quality in the mid-palate and picks up spiciness with air. The pure dark fruit is lifted by blood orange and peppery spices on the very long, sweet finish. This benefits a lot from aeration.”
