Powerful, with plenty of acidity to the intense cherry, violet, raspberry and wild plum flavors. Offers a sinewy texture, showing a focused spiciness and a long, mineral- and chocolate-filled finish. Sleek and refined.
Offering fragrant scents of California raisin and fresh prune, hints of clove and smoke... palate is well-balanced, with fine tannins encasing a core of ripe red and black fruit, plus there is a lovely honeyed, almost mellifluous texture
Reticent aromas of blackberry, black cherry and earth are lifted by high notes of violet and mint. A juicy, youthfully tight, attractively floral midweight with strong acidity giving the mid-palate very good definition
