Brick red with light sediment. Floral aromatics of red roses and star anise. Hints of charred oak. Cherries abound too, with a candied style - think red starburst. Juicy, well balanced palate that dives into a dried fruit, tannic finish. Strawberry candy, the ones in the strawberry wrapper, stand out on the palate. Tart cherry and cranberry too. Mid palate sweetness transitions to a long finish. Well made, old world meets new in style. Cellar this for at least 5 more years, will last beyond that.
