Shimmering violet. Expressive black and blue fruit, exotic spice and floral scents show excellent clarity and take on subtle vanilla, woodsmoke and garrigue notes with air. Intense cassis, bitter cherry, candied violet and spicecake flavors slowly turn sweeter on the back half. Finishes very long and precise, with a resonating floral quality and supple, even tannins adding framework and discreet grip. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2020)
