Tasting notes
Youthful purple. A complex, expansive bouquet evokes dark berries, incense and smoky Indian spices. Appealingly sweet blackberry, blueberry and floral pastille flavors show very good depth and definition and pick up a minerally quality with aeration. Shows outstanding clarity and lift on the gently tannic, very persistent finish, which features notes of sweet blue fruit and candied violet.

Vivid ruby. Pungent and expansive on the nose, displaying heady scents of dark berry liqueur, licorice, olive, incense and minerals. Sappy and precise on the palate, offering concentrated but energetic black and blue fruit, floral pastille and spicecake flavors complemented by a suggestion of peppery spices. Becomes sweeter and fleshier with air with no loss of vivacity. Harmonious tannins add shape and grip to the spicy, extremely long finish.
