Deep ruby. Cherry, dark berries and lavender on the fragrant nose. Fleshy and concentrated yet lively, offering silky blackberry and bitter cherry flavors and a hint of white pepper. Finishes juicy and smooth, with supple tannins and very good spicy persistence. (Vinous)

Very fruit forward. Mineral- and spice-inflected aromas of red berries and fresh flowers show very good energy and clarity. Juicy and precise on the palate, offering brisk raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that gain weight with air. The floral note comes back on the persistent finish, which features silky tannins and a touch of spicecake.
