| Winery Notes |
A medium bright and clear ruby, it always strikes me that the aromatics are almost velvety with raspberry, plum and spice. A hint of rhubarb pie, mushroom in warm composted earth. The flavors come forth with a dignified intensity of raspberry, cherry, plum and sandalwood, a Sauvage aspect that intrigues. Hard to say if it’s totally fruit driven, or herbal, or warm earth. Complex is the word… One of a kind, as always. A piece of Rare Earth in a higher dimension. Silken, elegant and distinguished, simply magnificent, as always. I just guide it…. Pair with any complex subtly spiced Asian dishes. |
