Deep, bright red. Smoky cherry and dark berries on the nose, with a touch of musky underbrush adding complexity. Sappy and nicely concentrated, offering bitter cherry, black raspberry and rose pastille flavors lifted by gentle acidity. Finishes with lingering smokiness, youthfully firm tannins and good tangy cut. Give this a little air or some more time in bottle.
