Medium Ruby with intense aromas of floral, spice and sweet tobacco notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with licorice, tobacco and cinnamon spice. Lively acidity, good balance, fine grainy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, herbs and earthy spice. Very nice, just starting to drink well, should develop nicely over next decade. Tasting Sample.

Awesome stuff! Still holding on to some gripping tannin, though softened a lot.. Rose petal, cherry and licorice aromas shine.
