Vinous 93 pts! Bright ruby-red. A highly perfumed, complex bouquet evokes red fruit preserves, incense and floral oils, with a spicy overtone and a hint of cola. Sappy, incisive and pure, offering palate-staining raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a touch of black cardamom. Dusty tannins give shape to the finish, which lingers with impressive persistence and energy.
