Inky ruby. Ripe dark berries and candied plum on the highly perfumed nose. Plush and open-knit, offering juicy black and blue fruit flavors and a hint of baking spices. A vanilla quality appears on the clinging finish, which is given shape by supple, easy-going tannins. This wine got 25% new French oak.
