Lurid violet colour. Lively and sharply focused on the perfumed nose, displaying fresh blackcurrant, cherry and licorice qualities and a floral top note that gains strength as the wine opens up. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering dark berry and bitter cherry flavours that deepen and turn sweeter on the back half. A spicy note adds cut to the persistent finish, which features smooth tannins and a late suggestion of dark chocolate.
