Full, deep red. Reduced aromas of blackberry, mocha, coffee and meat. Suave and firmly built, with excellent focus and energy to its penetrating flavors of dark berries, bitter chocolate and pungent spices. Finishes spicy and sharply focused, with firm tannins, excellent breadth and lift, and lingering mineral nuances.
