Tasting notes
Vivid purple. A deeply perfumed bouquet evokes fresh black and blue fruits, olive, pipe tobacco and cracked pepper, backed by a smoky nuance. Spicy and penetrating on the palate, offering intense cassis and boysenberry flavors and a touch of star anise. Supple tannins gently frame a very long, penetrating finish that leaves spice-tinged dark fruit and bitter chocolate notes behind.

(40% whole clusters) Vibrant, mineral-tinged aromas of blue fruit preserves, candied flowers and five-spice powder, along with suggestion of candied licorice. Palate-staining, concentrated black raspberry, boysenberry and peppery spice flavors show very good clarity and energetic cut. The floral note comes back strong on the subtly tannic finish, which hangs on with serious tenacity and lingering spiciness.
