"Intense, dark purple so deep it is almost black. The nose shows all the typicity of the variety - slightly sweet and floral with notes of violets, raspberries, and blackberries, along with black olives and licorice. Notes of roasted meat with pink peppercorns blend with subtle vanilla, and balsamic wood, accented by menthol. The palate follows the nose and is both fresh and sweet over a texture of fine, tight, and flavourful tannins that emphasize the energy of the fruit and add voluptuousness. The long finish pays homage to the variety and the vineyard with great promise for the future." -Winery
