Deep purple, pronounced aromas of spice, nutmeg, blueberry, vanilla and toast. Medium tannins, medium + body with flavors of smoke, preserves, and blueberries. Medium + finish.

Very nice flavor with strong fruit but not overwhelming. Little bit of spice, but fairly good balance overall slightly biased towards fruit side. Finish is medium long but not very tannic or acidic
