- The 2018 vintage of Sabazio showsarubyred color. The nose is striking for fresh, floral notes ofvioletsand roses which well balance the typicalaromas of cherries. The palate is fresh and elegant with silkyand pleasurable tannins. The finish and aftertaste of Sabazio are tasty, with lingering sensations which recall the aromas first felt on the nose.
