Medium red. Deep, exotic aromas of cherry skin, cocoa powder, brown spices, humus and faded rose; this smells like dessert! Superconcentrated, velvety and sweet, with a roasted ripeness and flavors bordering on exotic. Gives a slightly oxidative impression initially and yet this amazingly silky, creamy wine was fresher 48 hours later from the recorked bottle. A feminine and distinctly voluptuous wine with plenty of acidity and underlying structure. Like a liqueur of Clos de la Roche. - VM
