Saturated crimson. Spice-accented cherry, dark berry, vanilla and floral pastille scents take on smoky mineral and baking spice qualities with air. Shows fine definition and spicy lift on the palate, which offers appealingly sweet cherry cola, mulberry, candied rose and spicecake flavors that fan out slowly through the back half. The floral note returns on the impressively long, subtly tannic finish, which shows firm tension and repeating florality. 30% whole clusters and 40% new French oak.
