"Bright ruby-red. Spice- and smoke-tinged cherry and redcurrant aromas take a darker turn toward cassis and licorice with air. Sweet, oak-spiced cherry and mocha flavors show good energy, with a chewing tobacco quality emerging on the back half. Closes long and smooth, with lingering smokiness, soft tannins and a hint of mocha."
