Inky dark purple core and hue. Pure and fragrant combining elegant floral notes, violet, dark berries, blackberry, cassis and a odern toasted finely spicy oak. Dense palate with moderate extraction, high concentration with nce backbone of ripe tannin giving lift, layers of mildly spicy dark fruit, fine oak, still present but adding a nice touch of butterscotch and mild spice, meaty and lingering finish very good persistency and layers, good now, even better in 5 years.
