"Opaque ruby. More civilized than the Olivets, offering aromas and flavors of candied red fruits and flowers plus a subtle spiciness. Becomes more perfumed with air and finishes sweet, silky and long, with harmonious tannins."

"Features a brambly spine, with chestnut and dark licorice snap notes poking out from the core of steeped plum and blackberry coulis. Delivers a juicy, grippy feel through the finish, but this remains silky, with a lingering accent of warm paving stone. Best from 2014 through 2028. 196 cases imported."
