"Glass-staining ruby. Explosive blue fruit, incense and oak spice aromas are brightened by notes of black pepper and fresh lavender, and a mineral nuance builds in the glass. Seamless, sweet and expansive in the mouth, offering juicy blueberry, cherry cola and floral pastille flavors that slowly put on weight and become spicier with air. Velvety tannins sneak up slowly on the extremely long finish, where the spice, floral and blue fruit notes echo strongly."
