Deep, shimmering crimson. A complex bouquet evokes fresh red and blue fruits, cola, oak spices and incense, and floral and mineral accents build in the glass. Stains the palate with concentrated black raspberry, bitter cherry, boysenberry, candied rose and spicecake flavors that take on vanilla and mocha nuances on the back half. Finishes with outstanding, spice-driven tenacity, youthfully gripping tannins and an echo of florality. 36% new oak. (JR)
