| Review: |
"Deep violet color. Displays expansive, spice-accented aromas of ripe red and dark berries, peony, licorice and smoked meat. Broad and velvety on the palate, offering plush cherry, blueberry and fruitcake flavors that are sharpened by a suggestion of cracked pepper. Polished tannins build on the impressively persistent finish, which echoes the cherry and floral notes. 20% new oak." |
