“Bright purple. Highly fragrant bouquet of black and blue fruits, woodsmoke and pungent Indian spices; smells a lot like syrah. Shows very good depth and energy, with appealing sweetness to its cassis, cherry liqueur and licorice pastille flavors. The persistent, youthfully tannic finish repeats the smoky note and shows very good clarity.”
