"Deep, almost opaque ruby. Asphalt, espresso and bitter chocolate aromas, with rich cassis and blackberry, as well as a scent of fresh rose, coming up with air. Very rich but precise and admirably balanced, with intense flavors of sweet blackberry, violet, roasted coffee and Valrhona chocolate. The long, fresh, spicy finish displays great depth and cut."
