"Good deep red-ruby. Sappy black cherry, black raspberry, minerals, bitter chocolate, cinnamon, leather and smoke. Sappy, pure and sweet, with compelling energy and freshness to the strawberry and spicy flavors. At once dense and weightless, and perfumed on the lingering finish. This sexy and captivating wine showed a stronger chocolatey oak character as it opened in the glass but maintained its energy and shape."
