The 2020 Ao Yun is characterized by its deep purple color, aromatic nose with notes of red and dark fruit (like black cherry, blueberry, and plum) along with herbaceous hints of mint and green bell pepper, and spicy cedar
. On the palate, it is a dense, succulent wine with high acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a fresh, vibrant, yet controlled and muscular character that suggests significant aging potential.
