Purple Angel 2012

- 93 points -

Opaque ruby. Ripe black and blue fruits, candied violet and hints of spicecake and vanilla on the highly fragrant nose. Juicy and broad on the palate, offering intense black currant and boysenberry flavors that deepen and turn spicier with air. Shows impressive depth and energy; a hint of smokiness appears on the back half. The vanilla and floral notes come back on the impressively persistent, seamless finish, which features supple, harmonious tannins and a lingering suggestion of allspice.
