93 ST.
"Bright ruby-red. A heady, spice-accented bouquet displays candied red fruits, potpourri and incense, with hints of vanilla and cola gaining strength with air. Silky and broad, with intense, mineral-tinged black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors sweetened by vanillin oak. Supple tannins shape the long, spicy finish, which leaves a spicecake note behind."
