Bright purple-red. Complex nose of red berries, leather, spices (vanilla, pepper, clove), and blackberry. Full-bodied, rounded tannins, balanced acidity, and a long finish with quince.
Intense ruby color. Complex aromas of ripe cherry, strawberry, violets, roasted coffee, and cocoa powder. The palate is vibrant and layered, with a long, fresh finish of pepper and licorice.
