Deep, brilliant magenta. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe boysenberry, black raspberry, mocha and baking spices, and a suave floral nuance builds with aeration. Alluringly sweet and seamless in texture, displaying a well-judged blend of depth and energy to the concentrated red and blue fruit preserve, candied lavender and spicecake flavors. Shows fine definition on the youthfully tannic, penetrating finish, which hangs on with strong, floral-driven tenacity. 32% new French oak. (JR)
