Bright ruby. Intense, smoke-accented aromas of red and dark berries, potpourri and incense, with a lively mineral nuance adding loft. Stains the palate with sappy black raspberry and cherry-cola flavors that are given lift by juicy acidity. The floral note repeats on the finish, with silky, building tannins harmonizing nicely with the wine's energetic fruit. On the exotic side and drinking extremely well already.
