Discreet but not invisible wood sets off spicy purple fruit aromas that display a top note of violet. The equally round, succulent and caressing medium-bodied flavors possess better depth and notably better length on the sappy and balanced finale. This seductive if mildly austere effort should drink reasonably well on the younger side but repay up to a decade of cellaring.
