Bright purple. Mineral-inflected dark fruit and floral scents are energized by an accent of peppery spices. Fleshy, juicy and focused on the palate, offering intense cassis, bitter cherry and licorice flavors that tighten up slowly and pick up a smoky nuance through the midpalate. Densely packed yet lively as well, finishing with very good clarity, mineral thrust and chewy tannins.
