Opaque magenta. Incisive blackberry and kirsch aromas are complemented by suggestions of exotic spices, incense and olive paste. Round and fleshy but energetic as well, offering intense, mineral-tinged black and blue fruit liqueur, candied violet, salty olive and spicecake flavors that are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. A smoky note builds on the youthfully tannic finish, which hangs on with strong, spice- and mineral-driven tenacity. This wine is made from old Serine vines grown in the granitic soils of Gervans.
