Deep violet with a bright magenta rim. The nose is aromatic and lifted, offering black raspberry, violet pastille, and blueberry reduction, framed by hints of clove and anise. On the palate, it’s bold and youthful, with dense fruit flavors of blackberry, dark plum, and sweet spice. The tannins are firm but ripe, balanced by fresh acidity and a moderate sweetness. The finish is long and vibrant, with lingering notes of cocoa nib and wild berry jam. (90 pts.)
