“Inky violet color. Intensely spicy nose displays fresh raspberry, violet face powder and printer’s ink. Stains the palate with deep, sweet red and dark berry flavors, picking up solid tannic structure with air. Becomes spicier on the finish, which is a touch youthfully wound up but very persistent. Give this the cellaring it deserves.”
