there is nothing obvious about this wine: everything is subtle and elegant. the nose holds back and the taut palate only unfurls slowly to show a floral, fruity wine that reminds one of crimson peony petals as much as of dark, juicy cherries. yet there is nothing facile about this. it is the silky-smooth texture, however, that delivers the killer blow. a most sensuous, intriguing wine of great elegance. little wonder: its name means silk and velvet
