Vivid ruby. Sexy, highly perfumed bouquet of fresh red berries, cherry pit, potpourri with hints of black pepper adding complexity. Spicy and expansive in the mouth, offering lively cherry and raspberry flavors and intense floral character. Silky tannins add grip and shape to the long, sappy finish. This wine received no new oak.

Ripe and savory nose with pretty currants and hints of iron and graphite. Black olives and tobacco leaf, too. Full-bodied on the palate with plenty of fine-grained tannins and juicy fruit. Pretty compact, concentrated and long. Lot 111. Drink or hold . JS 92
