Series C 2019 displays an intense ruby-purple color and a vibrant, crimson rim. Dense on opening, this blend offers seductively fragrant layers of blackberry, cassis, and baked plum, perfectly offset by a savory, hoisin sauce note. Opulent floral notes; violet and lilac harmoniously blend with fresh-crushed juniper berries, pencil shavings, nuanced dark chocolate, and sweet, warm nutmeg. The palate reveals a plush, expansive entry, with vivid continuity. Fine-grained tannins throughout embody a cashmere embrace, building on the fine and assertive structure. Sumptuous
black berry fruits are expressive and well-defined, underpinned by a mouth-watering core with an effortlessly long finish. While alluring in its youth, the 2019 Series C promises a decade or more of cellaring to realize its full potential.
