Inky ruby. Deeply perfumed, expansive aromas of cherry preserves, cassis, incense, exotic spices, olive and vanilla, plus a smoky mineral nuance that gains strength as the wine opens up. Offers palate-staining black and blue fruit, licorice, cola, vanilla and allspice flavors that show superb depth as well as unlikely energy. Finishes extremely long and focused, with building floral and spice nuances, solid tannic grip and resonating mineral and spice notes. Raised in new oak barrels.
