Brilliant ruby-red. Vibrant red and blue fruit, potpourri and smoky mineral aromas; a hint of blood orange emerges with aeration. Sweet and energetic in the mouth, displaying raspberry and cherry liqueur, candied rose and spicecake flavors that slowly deepen through the back half. Shows strong energy and spicy cut on the tenacious finish, which is framed by polished tannins and leaves repeating floral and mineral notes behind. 20% new French oak.
