Bright violet. Explosive, mineral-tinged aromas of blackberry, incense, potpourri, olive and woodsmoke, lent vivacity by a peppery topnote. Shows excellent clarity and thrust on the palate, offering sweet, smoke-tinged black and blue flavors and a strong suggestion of candied violet. The juicy, expansive finish displays velvety tannins and a strong echo of candied flowers.
