Glass-staining violet. Powerful, spice-accented dark berry liqueur, candied violet and licorice scents, along with hints of olive paste and smoky minerals. Deep, palate-staining boysenberry, cherry liqueur, floral pastille and fruitcake flavors show serious depth and a core of juicy acidity. Opens up steadily with aeration and finishes extremely long and minerally, with building tannins and strong, floral-driven persistence.
