Vinous - Score: 96 (43647)

Brilliant purple. Aromas of ripe, dark berries, succulent flowers and smoky bacon are sharpened by intense mineral and peppery spice flourishes. Spicy and energetic on the palate, offering deeply concentrated blackberry, cherry preserve and violet pastille flavors and steadily building olive and violet nuances. Finishes bright, supple and impressively long, showing excellent clarity, well-knit tannins and building florality.
