Inky ruby. Smoky dark berries, allspice and licorice on the highly pungent, smoke- and mineral-accented nose. Displays impressive depth as well as energy to the sweet black and blue fruit flavors and picks up a sexy floral quality with aeration. Shows excellent focus and mineral lift on the youthfully tannic and very persistent finish, which features suggestions of bitter chocolate and candied violet.
