Dark purple. Dark berry preserves, cola, licorice and olive on the pungent, highly perfumed nose. Offers lush boysenberry and cassis flavors that becomes spicier with air and show a sexy floral quality on the back end. Supple tannins add shape to the finish, which clings with superb tenacity and alluring sweetness. This big boy is built to age.

Glass-staining purple. A pungent, exotically perfumed bouquet displays blackberry, anise and smoky Indian spices, along with a building mineral overtone. Sappy, penetrating dark berry flavors are lifted by a lively mineral quality and pick up notes of bitter chocolate and vanilla with air. Firm and gripping on the finish, which leaves smoky spice and mineral notes behind; 70% new oak was used here.
