There’s a lot of aromatic beauty in this elegant, silky-textured red. Hints of evolution are emerging, with tobacco leaf, forest floor and dusty earth notes bringing complexity to the flavors of cherry and raspberry liqueur. Suave tannins glide through, with mocha powder and black pepper adding dimension to the warm palate. Graceful and lifted, with a lot of power still in reserve.

Aromatics reveal fresh cherries, green olives, musk and sandalwood. The palate impresses with musky, cologne-like notes, hints of saffron, bergamot and violets. Its huge and taut structure suggests cellaring until 2028 for a refined experience.

100% grenache delivering notes of spiced cherries, raspberries, bay leaves and sweet spices. Full body with fine, firm tannins. Round and creamy with vanilla and bright juicy raspberries at the center. Velvety and creamy to the flavorful finish. Generous. Drink or hold.

This has both polish and real character, with an alluring mix of crushed cherry, raspberry paste and spicy black pepper, plus violet and lavender highlights. Packs a pronounced thread of anise root and red tea that weaves throughout the svelte, lingering finish. Classy.

Streamlined in feel, with sanguine, red tea and mineral notes in lockstep with a core of red currant, bitter cherry and blood orange flavors. Everything stays focused and fine-grained through the savory- and incense-flecked finish.
