"Good bright, full red. Lovely perfume of raspberry, spices and crushed stone. Juicy, vibrant and brilliantly delineated, offering outstanding inner-mouth tension and lift to the flavors of red licorice, crushed stone and rose petal. Sappy rather than fleshy. Finishes with great mineral thrust and lingering perfume, the suave tannins reaching the front teeth. Classy juice: this extremely long and aromatic wine leaves the salivary glands quivering."
