"Inky ruby.  A complex, intensely perfumed bouquet evokes red and dark berry preserves, smoky Indian spices, vanilla and pipe tobacco.  Sweet and expansive on the palate, offering black raspberry, cherry-cola and spicecake flavors and a jolt of tangy acidity.  This fleshy, vibrant wine finishes with strong energy, supple tannins and superb persistence."
