Warm ripe fruit was my first general impression, then I identified plum, blueberry, violet, chocolate, vanilla and baking spice. Other than the chocolate, it all fits in with a tasty blueberry tart, and I have to note, for what it's worth, that both the blueberry and the violet notes are in accord with the wine's striking purple color. The wine is dry, with medium acidity, medium tannins, but a good black fruit plum and berry intensity. The key palate note is a chocolate cocoa roasted-coffee mocha element, tagged with more of the vanilla and baking spice. The finish is fairly long, with a bit of the toasted mocha at the end, and the kind of caramelized sweetness you get from nicely toasted bread.
