"Vivid red. Red- and blackcurrant aromas are complemented by smoked meat, potpourri and cola. The fresh palate offers nervy red berry flavors and a strong jolt of tangy minerals. More energetic in the mouth than on the nose, with excellent back-end clarity and snap. With air, this picked up a drop-dead sexy floral quality. Give this one some cellar time."
