Lovely aromatics get this off to a great start, and the mélange of sweet and savory scents is backed by flavors that show an interesting combination of initial openness on the attack and firm structure in the finish. Oak is present but moderate and balanced with the fruit, which shows mostly red tones and very tasty edges of spice.
