This wine has dark but vibrant ruby color telegraphing the richness of damp earth, mellow ripe fruit, and spice. Dark cherry, ripe blackberry, and floral aromas are complemented by cola, chocolate, vanilla, and spice notes. The wine is a full and implicitly sweet with dusty tannins and balancing acidity. This is a complex, fine, long, elegant and vibrant wine with lingering spice richness.
