"Deep, bright red-ruby. Pungent aromas of blueberry, minerals, spices and exotic flowers, all showing a medicinal restraint. Superripe and wild, with almost exotic floral high tones to the creamy-sweet flavors of black fruits and minerals. The combination of sheer sweetness, density and firm spine is exhilarating. Offers extraordinary fullness of texture without any sign of heaviness. Finishes with lush tannins, outstanding length and captivating floral perfume."

Full ruby-red. Reticent, pure aromas of black cherry and flowers. Tightly wound and sharply delineated, with black fruit and mineral flavors. Very penetrating but unforthcoming today; this will need extended bottle aging to unwind. Very long on the aftertaste, but hard to taste now.
