"Limpid violet. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red fruits, Asian spices and smoky minerals, accompanied by an exotic touch of incense in the background. In a distinctly elegant style for the vintage, offering seamless, appealingly sweet raspberry, floral pastille and spicecake flavors that show very good concentration as well as finesse. A core of juicy acidity adds support and focus to a very long, floral-dominated finish shaped by smooth, harmonious tannins." Vinous, Dec 2017 |
