Opaque ruby. Intense dark berry liqueur, cherry pit, licorice, cigar box vanilla and floral aromas are sharpened by a smoky mineral overtone. Sappy, finely etched black currant, cherry cola and bitter chocolate flavors slowly deepen and turn sweeter with air. The floral and cherry notes carry through a strikingly long, spice-tinged finish that displays excellent focus and youthfully chewy tannins.
