Tasting notes
Saturated ruby color. Displays an array of ripe black and blue fruit and floral aromas that are accompanied by suggestions of sandalwood, candied flowers and exotic spices. Broad and fleshy but energetic as well, offering palate-staining, spice-accented blueberry, cherry-cola, salty olive and candied violet flavors that show excellent clarity. Lingers with superb tenacity and youthful tannic grip, leaving hints of smoky minerals and dark berry preserves behind.

Powerful, expansive dark fruit preserve, incense, potpourri, olive and exotic spice scents show fine definition and take on a subtle pipe tobacco nuance with air. Shows surprising energy to the brawny cassis, bitter cherry and fruitcake flavors, which are complemented by a sexy violet pastille nuance. Steadily building tannins add grip to an extremely long, mineral-tinged finish that leaves sweet dark berry and cola notes behind.
