Lurid ruby-red. Highly expressive red and dark berry preserve aromas are complemented by incense, garrigue and floral pastille nuances. Sappy and seamless on the palate, offering deeply concentrated, primary black raspberry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors and a touch of candied lavender. Smooth, harmonious tannins build slowly on an impressively long, seamless finish that leaves behind sappy floral and dark berry notes. 93-95 points
