Vivid ruby-red. Displays powerful, deeply pitched black raspberry and cherry scents, along with hints of sassafras and anise. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and dark berry flavors that become brighter and sweeter with air. Finishes vibrant, spicy and long, with an echoing cherry note.

Brilliant red. Sexy, mineral-tinged red berry and cherry scents are complicated by suggestions of candied rose and potpourri and a subtle touch of vanilla. Sweet and vibrant on the palate, offering juicy raspberry and floral pastille flavors and a bracing jolt of blood orange that adds a refreshingly bitter edge. Finishes bright, racy and very long, with supple tannins and a late kick of peppery spices.

Deep red. Potent smoke- and mineral-laced aromas of raspberry, cherry and tea rose, with a spicy element emerging with aeration. Displays very good clarity and vivacity on the palate, offering juicy red and dark berry flavors sweetened by a hint of vanilla. Silky, penetrating and spicy on the finish, which is framed by smooth, slow-building tannins.
