“Deep ruby. A deeply perfumed bouquet displays an array of ripe dark fruits and pungent flowers, along with oak spice, vanilla and coconut accents that emerge with aeration. Juicy and appealingly sweet, offering concentrated, spice-tinged blackberry, cherry-vanilla and mocha flavors and a subtle licorice nuance. Finishes supple, sweet and very long, with steadily building tannins that meld smoothly with the wine's intense dark fruit.”
