Bright ruby. Candied cherry, licorice and lavender aromas are lifted by smoky mineral notes. The lively, focused palate offers juicy dark berry and bitter cherry flavors with a hint of spicecake. Shows a distinctly nervy personality now, but it surely isn't lacking for depth. Finishes silky, spicy and taut, with supple, harmonious tannins. Reportedly made from 60-year-old vines and aged for 13 months in used French oak barrels.
