long finish

"It has a deep garnet-purple color and a rather toasty nose to start with, giving way to a lovely perfume of roses and lilac with a core of blackcurrant, redcurrant jelly and blackberry tart as well as a touch reminiscent of a cedar trunk. Full, velvety and seductive, it delivers layers of fragrant red and black fruits with a very long finish." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Lisa Perrotti-Brown)

About the wine:

Lots of ripe fruit with very fine tannins and a juicy mouthfeel. Medium to full body, polished, round texture and a savory finish. Sweet with lots of flavor. Drink or cellar.
