Cassis and exotic spices dazzle from the beginning plus the unmistakable note of violets on the bouquet. Well delineated flavors include dark berries, espresso and gorgeous minerality. The seamless texture and deftly-balanced tannins offer enjoyment tonight (after decanting) and bode well for 5 – 7 years of cellar time for patient collectors. Stock up on this bargain while it lasts!
