“(50% new oak): Bright ruby. Heady aromas of candied dark berries and cherry-cola, with intense Indian spice and floral accents. Juicy, expansive and penetrating, offering vibrant black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that gain sweetness with air. Packs a serious punch but comes off lithe and precise, finishing with appealing sweetness and a touch of candied rose.”
