- Rich and loamy aromas of cherry, fig and black violet create a very exotic nose showing underlying hints of brown spices. Gorgeous palate entry with a supple, velvet-like texture. Flavors of violet, earth and cherry on the plate. Shows an old-world elegance on the finish.

- Seductively rich and polished offering aromatic elements of graphite, chocolate, black berries and cassis. Preserved lemon and dusty rose sachets are hints of the Old World. Flavors are more developed than before with excellent complexity. This is a more integrated wine; vanilla bean, smooth chocolate, and lush black fruits finish with dusty black and red fruits.
