"Good bright, deep red. Sweet cherry and redcurrant aromas, along with some raw berry and herbal tones. A bit tighter and less harmonious than the Oracle, with somewhat medicinal currant, cedar and mint flavors turning greener with aeration. Finishes with tarry oak and a bit of dryness. More powerful than the Oracle, with stronger, more primary berry flavors, but shows some rawness in the middle palate."
