Deep violet. Explosively perfumed bouquet evokes blackberry, boysenberry, vanilla, Asian spices, anise and fresh flowers. Lush and creamy in the mouth, with sweet dark berry flavors complemented by exotic spices, and fresh, juicy acidity giving lift. Gains in depth on the long, palate-staining finish. Gorgeous stuff, with the substance to age but the sheer fruit to offer early pleasure.
