"Deep ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet displays scents of red fruit compote, candied rose, vanilla, incense and smoky minerals. Sweet, penetrating raspberry and cherry-vanilla flavors show superb depth and energy, picking up smoke and spice nuances with air. Supple, expansive and alluringly spicy on the finish, which features velvety tannins and an echo of rose pastille."
