Brilliant ruby-red. Highly perfumed aromas of ripe red and dark berries, vanilla and candied owers, along with building baking spice and mineral nuances. Concentrated but lively black raspberry, cherry cola and mocha avors take on licorice and oral pastille qualities through the midpalate. Finishes very long, sweet and supple, with a repeating cherry note and polished tannins adding shape and grip. – Josh Raynolds
