"Deep red. Restrained, elegant aromas of redcurrant, strawberry and cherry. Then sweeter and denser in the mouth than the nose suggests, with strong blackcurrant and cherry flavors nicely complemented by sexy oak spice and a subtle mineral quality. Finishes chewy, powerful and rich, with a full, broad expression of sweet dark fruits. This is delicious."
