Delicious floral notes give way to blackberry, cloves and smoke. Great tannic structure allowed this bottle to age nicely.

Violet and wild flowers jumped out of the glass and maintained onto the palate. After it got a little air this improved tremendously and picked up some savory blackberry, leather, and coffee notes that complimented the fragrant floral elements. Tremendously elegant wine. However, I do agree with @Scott Petrus the finish was slightly off. Still really enjoyed this though.

Ensconced in velvet. Violets were the predominant flavor. The wine had a great nose and initial flavor. There was something out of place in the finish. Tasted up opening and a hour later. Really improved with air but never overcame the minor flaw.
