"Vivid red. An explosively perfumed bouquet evokes candied red and dark berries, Asian spices and vanilla, with a sexy floral nuance that builds with aeration. Supple, sweet and penetrating black raspberry and cherry-cola flavors show a suave blend of richness and vivacity, with smoke and allspice accents adding complexity. Highly alluring and showing extremely well now but there's the depth here to reward patience. Finishes sweet, seamless and very long, with lingering red fruit and spice notes." Vinous, May 2012 |
