Brooding dark red. Seriously concentrated, imploded aromas of black cherry, roasted plum, kirsch and coconut. Then remarkably juicy and fresh on the palate, with vibrant redcurrant and wild strawberry flavors complicated by notes of anise, rose oil and juniper. The finish is high-pitched and fresh, with tangy acids and big, velvety tannins.
