Good bright medium red. Ripe, inviting aromas of currant, tobacco leaf and rose petal show surprising lift for a wine with 15+% alcohol. Suave on entry, then concentrated and dry, with dark berry, spice and earth flavors complemented by a hint of maraschino cherry. Brisk acidity gives the wine a refreshing edge. Finishes broad, fruity, ripely tannic and classically dry.here
