“(made from the Alban clone, from fruit picked on November 1st and being raised in 30% new oak): Bright purple. Intense, smoke- and spice-accented aromas of dark berry liqueur, olive tapenade, cracked pepper and violet. Very syrah, offering sweet black and blue fruit flavors that show very good depth and power. Smoothly balances richness and vivacity and finishes with gentle tannic grip and excellent persistence.”
