"Full ruby-red. Black raspberry, cherry-cola, mocha and a hint of vanilla on the nose. Deeply pitched dark berry flavors are supported by a spine of tangy acidity, picking up notes of candied rose and licorice with air. Chewy and structured but betrays no hard edges, finishing with very good focus and a persistent note of bitter cherry. This seems built to age; decant it for an hour or so if you plan on drinking it young."
