Bright purple. Pungent, spice-accented aromas of ripe dark berries, licorice, candied violet, vanilla and incense. Juicy and seamless in texture, offering appealingly sweet black and blue fruit, floral pastille and spicecake flavors sharpened by a jolt of peppery spices. Becomes spicier and deeper with air, with no loss of vivacity, and finishes very long and floral; harmonious tannins add frame and gentle grip.
