Inky purple. Black raspberry, fruitcake, espresso and cola on the highly perfumed nose, complemented by smoky oak. Plush and silky on entry, then energetic in the mid-palate, with bright minerality and tangy acidity giving shape and energy to the wine's blueberry, vanilla and mocha flavors. Finishes tactile and very long, with fine-grained tannins, alluring sweetness and very good lift.
