Color: Rich, inky ruby red, almost black

Amusement: A very elegant bouquet of ripe black berries (blueberries), toasted oak, pepper, incense, lavender, and slightly animal notes (leather, game)

Taste: Sensual, juicy, and seductive on the palate, with complex aromas of sweet, ripe fruits (plums, raspberries, blackcurrant liqueur), subtle roasted notes (coffee, tobacco), and vanilla. Concentrated, muscular, and firmly structured through to the finish with great length, enormous yet controlled power, and absolutely perfect balance. A truly great wine in every respect, which rightly enjoys cult status!
