Vibrant ruby color. Fresh red/blue fruits, incense and pot-pourri on the perfumed nose, with suggestions of exotic spices, smoky minerals and licorice building as the wine opens up. Offers energetic raspberry, boysenberry and violet pastille flavors that gain sweetness with air and show sharp delineation and mineral cut. A seamless, spice-laced finish shows excellent tenacity, a subtle trace of tannins, lingering spicecake and candied red fruit notes.
