(made from fruit grown on a two-acre site planted 80 years ago; went through is malo and 14 months of aging in new and used French oak): Bright ruby-red. Sexy spice- and mineral-accented aromas of ripe red berries and candied rose, with a hint of smokiness in the background. Sweet, seamless and broad on entry, then tighter in the middle, offering juicy black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that become deeper and sweeter with aeration. At once rich and energetic, finishing with smooth tannins, excellent clarity and lingering red fruit liqueur character.
