Dark, almost black with a youthful purple edge. Blackberry, spice, violet floral notes and hints of black tellicherry pepper are pervasive in the aroma of this wine. This is a big, rich, sumptuous wine with mouth-filling intensity, yet it's harmonious and all of one piece. The finish is long, flavorful and satisfying with ample, but not jarring, tannins. This is a lovely wine that will live and grow in sophistication for many years.
