Description
The color is a deep ruby red, with flashes of purple and an almost black core. Aromatics of cola, bing cherry, blackberry, blood orange, jasmine, white pepper and sage blast from the glass. The palate is extra juicy this year, with a flamboyant personality and the most refined tannins ever for this cuvée, allowing the layered finish to resonate and blossom.
