“Bright purple. Heady, intensely perfumed aromas of black and blue preserves, Indian spices and vanilla are given a zesty edge by a smoky mineral nuance. Juicy and broad on the palate, displaying deeply concentrated blueberry, cherry liqueur and cola flavors along with hints of candied violet, vanilla and star anise. Strongly echoes the floral and blue fruit notes on a strikingly long, penetrating finish featuring velvety tannins and a hint of mocha.”
