Ultra-elegant and pure aromas are comprised by notes of spiced plum, red raspberry, green tea and a pretty range of floral elements. The rich and satin-textured mouthcoating middle weight flavors possess an excellent sense of energy along with an abundance of minerality that adds a sense of lift to the dusty, focused and gorgeously persistent mildly austere finale. This is a classically styled Amoureuses of grace and lace and one that should age effortlessly for years.
