(100% petite serine) Opaque ruby. Deep, smoky, mineral-driven aromas of black raspberry, kirsch, cured meat and violet, plus a hint of spicecake. Dark berry flavors are enlivened by tangy minerality and pick up an exotic floral pastille character with aeration. Impressively energetic for a rich wine, finishing with sexy notes of candied violet and smoky spices. This really hangs onto the palate.

Inky purple. Textbook aromas of red and dark berries, cracked pepper, violet and smoky bacon. Tangy black raspberry and cassis flavors are shaped by silky tannins and a brisk mineral quality. Gains sweetness on the finish, which is spicy, energetic and very long.
