"Vivid ruby-red. Sexy aromas of cherry-vanilla, red berry preserves, sassafras, dried rose and fruitcake. Supple red and dark berry flavors are complicated by anise and Asian spice notes and firmed by supple tannins. Thecherry and floral notes cling on the aftertaste with impressive tenacity."

"It has an understated, sensual bouquet that is beautifully defined and very pure, almost Burgundy-like in fruit profile. The palate is medium-bodied, with chalky tannins, crisp acidity and lively blackberry and raspberry fruit tinged with soy and dried herbs. Very harmonious, it has good weight on the mulberry-infused finish, with a hint of dark chocolate loitering after the wine has been ejected. This is top-notch Montsant red."
