Dark glistening red. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries baking spices garrigue and candied flowers and a smoky mineral flourish appears as the wine opens up. Sappy sweet and penetrating on the palate offering juicy black raspberry cherry and lavender pastille flavors joined by hints of allspice and bitter chocolate. Smooth and seamless in texture showing superb finishing clarity gently gripping tannins and strong spicy persistence.
