Deep, bright-hued violet. Vibrant blackberry, cherry, incense and smoky mineral aromas are complemented by an exotic spice accent. Offers palate-staining black/blue fruit liqueur flavors that show excellent depth. Hints of star anise and olive paste build in the glass. Sweet, spicy and seamless on the long, incisive finish, which echoes the blue fruit note and is given framework by sneaky, harmonious tannins. (33% whole clusters) Score - 92-93.
