Deep garnet. Pungent, mineral- and spice-accented red berry liqueur and oral scents pick up exotic spice and vanilla nuances with air. Juicy and expansive in the mouth, oering pliant raspberry, cherry preserve, candied rose and spicecake avors that turn sweeter on the back half. Closes very long and oral, with resonating red fruit and vanilla character and sneaky tannins that lend subtle grip. – Josh Raynolds
