  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 is enticingly scented of chocolate-covered cherries, crushed red currants and mulberries with touches of baking spices, potpourri and bay leaves plus a hint of fallen leaves. Sumptuously elegant, refreshing and medium-bodied with gorgeous, expressive, perfumed red fruits and very fine, very firm tannins, it has a persistent, perfumed finish. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Rober Parker The Wine Advocate, Feb. 2018)
