Lurid ruby. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes raspberry liqueur, cherry compote, exotic spices and candied lavender. Juicy, seamless and alluringly sweet, offering impressively concentrated and sharply delineated flavors of sappy red fruits, succulent herbs, spicecake and candied flowers that spread out steadily on the back half. Densely packed but also lithe in character, finishing with slow-building tannins that shape the exuberant red fruit on the extremely long, sappy and penetrating finish.

Just 2 weeks. But in blind tasting, difficult to find it. Not just concentrated, lots of various flavor with balanced. @5235, tatong, 190714

Even2016, new released vintage, quite concentrated covered rough fruity taste caused due to young vintage. Balanced at really high level. @5585, tatong, 190628
