Color: Deep garnet red with purple reflections. Nose: An expected complex basket of blackberries, plums and spices with a touch of tanned leather and fresh lavender. Palate The palate is concentrated and seamless with red plums, cherries, and blackberries all clashing. A zesty, spicy backbone of subtle smoke and tar blows through silky, soft tannins to a long, generous and expressive finish. A wine that evolves in the air in the glass.
