Deep purple in appearance, with a near-black core. Pronounced aromas of candied red cherries, ripe blackberries and blueberries, chocolate pot de crème, fresh rosemary and lily flower, caramel, and black plum sauce. Beautifully balanced on the palate, with fine, medium tannins paired with juicy acidity, piles of just-picked brambleberry fruits, mocha, cedar, and licorice. An elegant, lengthy finish marked by multilayered fruit and floral notes. This wine punches far above its weight in complexity.
