Vivid purple. Zesty blackberry and cherry aromas are complemented by cracked pepper, olive paste and Indian spice nuances. Taut and juicy on entry, then fleshier and deeper in the mid-palate, offering pliant black and blue fruit flavors and a hint of spicecake. Shows impressive energy on the mineral-accented finish, which features pliant tannins and an echo of peppery spices.
