Tasting notes
Opaque violet color. Precise, mineral-accented scents of blackberry, cassis and exotic spices are accompanied by a slowly emerging floral nuance. Sappy and energetic on the palate, displaying sharp delineation to its concentrated black/blue fruit, floral pastille, olive and allspice flavors. Finishes extremely long and spicy, with intense mineral thrust, a hint of candied violet and subtly chewy, harmonious tannins that make a late appearance.

Powerful, mineral-driven aromas of ripe black/blue fruits, candied flowers, olive paste and exotic spices. Densely packed and energetic on the palate, offering bitter cherry and blueberry flavors that unfurl slowly with air and show sharp delineation. The blue fruit note drives an impressively long, spicy finish that's given grip by fine-grained, slowly building tannins.
