(fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for a year in neutral barriques and demi-muids): Brilliant violet color. Intense, spice-accented aromas of cassis, violet and smoky mineral show very good lift and clarity. Offers spicy red and dark berry and floral pastille flavors that show very good focus and depth, along with a floral pastille flourish on the back half. The long floral-tinged finish features slow-building tannins and lingering raspberry and violet character. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Apr 2017)
