Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep purple/ruby core lightening toward the rim of the glass with moderately stained thick tears.
Aroma
Aromatic, with brambly blackberry, raspberry, and dusty red cherry with cracked black pepper, black olive notes, and just a touch of oak and barrel spice.
Palate
Dry, full-bodied, and balanced on the palate, with red and black berry, red cherry, cranberry, and subtle vanilla on entry. The mid-palate shows oak accents with cracked pepper and rhubarb notes. The finish is clean, moderately long, showing bold but finely textured tannins and sustained fruit along with camphor and herbal notes.
