Brilliant violet color. An expansive bouquet evokes ripe black/blue fruits, potpourri and olive paste. A lively mineral nuance builds in the glass. Shows impressive depth and energy on the palate, offering sappy dark berry, spicecake and violet flavors that are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Shows an appealingly light touch for its heft and finishes on a subtly tannic note, displaying sharp delineation and mineral thrust. 92-93 points
