Ripe black/blue fruits, licorice, vanilla and an exotic spice quality on the mineral-inflected nose. Stains the palate with appealingly sweet, penetrating cassis, bitter cherry, blueberry and licorice flavors that deepen and turn sweeter through the midpalate. Youthfully gripping tannins frame a strikingly long, chewy finish that emphatically repeats the blue fruit and floral notes.
