Deep Ruby with aromas of sweet dark fruits and spice, aged for 18 months in 40% new Hungarian oak barrels. On the palate flavors of plum, blueberry and black cherry with cinnamon and spice. Firm tannins, needs time, good balance, medium finish ending with espresso and oak notes.

This smells like hot fermented purple. Strange to say I can smell a color but seriously this is naturally warmed up purps! Licorice and soft herballed cinnamon tea, smooth red raspberries. Cottons out the tongue. Likey.

Wonderful. Earth. Plums. Strawberries and delightful tannins that are starting to recede but buttress the berry notes.
