Deep, bright ruby. Cherry compote and blackberry aromas, complicated by suave spice and violet nuances and a hint of vanillin oak. Plush and broad, offering pliant dark berry flavors and notes of musky herbs and anise. A mineral note builds with air and adds lift and energy to the long, oak-spiced finish. I'd serve this with an aggressively seasoned piece of grilled red meat.
