Tasting notes
Bright violet. A heady, mineral-accented bouquet evokes fresh red and dark berries, potpourri and incense, and a spicy nuance adds urgency. Bright, sappy and gently sweet, offering concentrated black raspberry, boysenberry and spicecake flavors that tighten up slowly with aeration. Shows impressive depth, but there's real energy here as well. Closes smooth, sweet and very long, leaving a sexy violet pastille note behind.

Vivid ruby. Intense blackberry, cherry and incense aromas are enlivened by hints of white pepper and smoky minerals. Juicy and concentrated, offering powerful dark berry and floral pastille flavors that open up and stretch out slowly with air. Shows real heft for the vintage and finishes sappy and long, with building spiciness and fine-grained tannins coming in late.
