A heady, exotically perfumed bouquet evokes ripe dark berries, candied flowers, incense and baking spices, along with a smoky mineral overtone. Broad, deep and intensely spicy on the palate, offering sweet blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that flesh out slowly as the wine stretches out. Concentrated yet vibrant and almost shockingly lithe, showing strong finishing cut and chewy tannins that add final grip.
