violet and dark currant

as expected

This opulent and mouth coating effort is certainly finer than its villages sibling but not necessarily any longer or more complex and I prefer the more overt minerality present in the villages as well

There is again very good volume to the sappy and powerful larger scaled flavors that terminate in a lemony, austere and highly persistent finish that isnt quite as complex, at least not yet.
