August 7, 2022 - Still an intense purple, with definite 13.5% alcohol legs, with a nose that hints at sweet violets, then leafy blackcurrant and cassis, raspberries, and slatey graphite. High acidity, with intense cassis, followed by a finish of dry minerality. Served lightly chilled , this is a refreshing accompaniment to summer food, but will keep for a couple of years.
