Youthful medium plus, fully concentrated blue black core with a thin violet rim. More blue than the anticipated cherry red. Intense black cherry, tomato leaf, and cassis with a subtle black pepper and chalk. Dry, medium body, high acid, medium, plushy astringency, high abv 13.5% throws very little heat or irritation. The palate shows ripe red cherry, roasted tomato, cassis, basil, bittersweet, and black pepper on the medium finish.
