Light, fragrant and super-fresh, this has tart red berries, lively acidity, a whiff of expensive oak and wonderful, overall balance. Will age beautifully, but why wait?

From Magnum!!! Sweet and decadent, yet sublime and elegant, this Chambolle-like copy-cat is sexy, seductive and raspberry-scented, with amazing purity and great drive on the red fruit, acidic and amazingly elegant finish, where raspberry jam and citrusy acididy create great balance.

Finally starting to get into a good place with beautiful perfumed aromatics, spicy fruit and full bodied extract. Whole cluster still evident with layer of dense tannin
