TASTING NOTE:
The nose is well-proportioned with deeply concentrated and intense aromas of ripe blackberry and black plum fruit melded with notes of dark raspberries, Asian spices, black pepper and minerals, unfolding a fine blackcurrant, cassis and herbal edge. Red floral notes develop with time in the glass. Fine-grained tannins, tension and drive on the palate finish with lingering florals and spice.
