Note di degustazione
Inky ruby. A powerfully scented bouquet evokes black raspberry, boysenberry, cola, candied licorice and potpourri, with a peppery accent adding vivacity. Stains the palate with sappy black and blue fruit flavors complicated by suggestions of violet pastille and spicecake. Clings impressively on the finish, which is lively, focused and very long. This complex wine shows the richness of the vintage but there's nothing heavy or outsized about it.

Vivid purple. Complex, highly aromatic nose combines vibrant dark berries, cherry-cola, violet, spices and a hint of anise. Juicy and very intense but surprisingly light on its feet; coats the palate with sweet, floral-accented black and blue fruit flavors. The finish features excellent clarity and a persistent note of violet pastille.
Pepper and spice and there is obviously some great fruit and intention here but for the moment it is a pretty painful experience to taste such a drying wine. Tannin management? Patience? (JR)
