Opaque ruby. A heady, impressively complex array of black and blue fruit, vanilla, succulent flowers and exotic spices on the nose; a smoky mineral flourish emerges as the wine opens up. Deeply concentrated and alluringly sweet, offering energetic boysenberry, cherry cola, spicecake and floral pastille flavors underscored by a smoky mineral undertone. Shows superb energy and resonating florality, with supple tannins framing an extremely long, penetrating finish.
