Saturated magenta. Expressive blackberry, cherry, smoked meat and violet scents pick up olive and licorice nuances with air. Juicy, focused and appealingly sweet, offering intense black and blue fruit, licorice and floral pastille flavors that become spicier as the wine stretches out. The floral and mineral notes recur on an impressively long, focused finish featuring youthful, gripping tannins and a touch of bitter chocolate. No new oak here.
