Bright purple. Smoke- and spice-accented aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, cured tobacco, vanilla, licorice and mocha are complemented by an exotic touch of incense. Youthfully chewy, focused and appealingly sweet, offering concentrated black currant, cherry cola, fruitcake, vanilla and exotic spice flavors underscored by a smoky mineral quality. At once rich and lively in style, finishing extremely long and precise, with youthfully gripping tannins and reverberating florality. Raised in 100% new French oak barrels for 22 months.
