Glistening purple. Expansive aromas of cherry and blueberry liqueur, incense, exotic spices and candied violet, plus a smoky mineral overtone that builds in the glass. Youthful, palate-coating black and blue fruit, star anise and floral pastille flavors show superb depth as well as energy, and a spine of juicy acidity adds support and back-end lift. Finishes with resonating floral and spice notes, youthful tannic grip and a hint of salty olive paste.
