An assertively scented, complex bouquet features mineral accented boysenberry, cherry liqueur, licorice and smoky mineral aromas that expand with air. Stains the palate with sweet, dense black and blue fruit, spicecake and candied violet flavors that show a surprisingly graceful touch thanks to a spine of juicy acidity. Velvety, slow mounting tannins shape a broad, smoke laced finish that hangs on with superb, floral driven persistence.
