Vinous Comment - Score: 92 (2016 March)

Bright violet. Vibrant, mineral-laced aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, Indian spices and olive, along with a hint of licorice. Palate-staining, concentrated blackberry and cherry preserve, candied violet and peppery spice flavors show excellent clarity, lift and power. The floral quality drives the finish, which hangs on with excellent tenacity and just a hint of fine-grained tannins.
