Tasting notes
Shimmering ruby. Mineral-accented dark berries, smoked meat and licorice on the incisive nose. Appealingly sweet black raspberry and boysenberry flavors show fine delineation and pick up a sexy floral nuance with air. Displays strong, energetic lift and mineral cut on the gently tannic, persistent finish, which features resonating floral and exotic spice notes.

Lurid violet color. Intense aromas of cassis, blackberry, olive and licorice are complemented by a smoky mineral topnote and a hint of smoky bacon. Chewy and subtly sweet, offering concentrated dark berry preserve, licorice pastille and chewing tobacco flavors and a spicy jolt of black pepper. Finishes very long and smoky, with chewy tannins and a building note.
