Tasting Notes

Appearance

Deep, rich purple-black, nearly opaque.

Aroma

Staggeringly complex: blueberry, blackberry jam, black truffle, cigar, rocky mineral, a wisp of violet — profoundly alluring.

Palate

Flawless balance, abundant fruit without excess, firm yet silken tannins, profound minerality, near-eternal finish.
