“Deep violet. Expansive aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, spicecake and licorice on the pungent, expansive nose. Appealingly sweet, mineral- and smoke-accented cassis and blueberry flavors show impressive depth and pick up a floral quality in the midpalate. Displays sharp detail and spicy lift on the youthfully tannic, persistent finish, which features echoing blue fruit and floral notes.”
