"Deep ruby. Heady aromas of blueberry, candied licorice, violet and toasty oak, along with suggestions of woodsmoke and vanilla. Sweet, pliant and expansive, offering juicy dark berry and floral pastille flavors that become livelier with air. Densely packed but lively, finishing with very good clarity, smooth, late-arriving tannins and excellent persistence. - Josh Raynolds"
