Reddish purple color. Black currant, blackberry, plum, chocolate, earthy forest floor, licorice, graphite, and subtle floral aromas of violets. Spice notes of cedar and grey pepper. Lush, very structured but balanced; a big wine with a sensuous texture. Blackberry, black currant, and black cherry fruit, earth and minerals, garrigue (forest floor), firm acid and silky tannins in a very structured wine. Long, sweet, fruit finish of blackberry, peppery spice, and cassis.
