| An aromatic red, with floral and spice notes accenting the red raspberry and chocolate flavors. Exhibits fresh acidity and dusty tannins, with a lingering finish of pine and licorice. Drink now through 2014. 2,000 cases imported. Inky ruby. Exotically perfumed bouquet displays black raspberry, cherry compote, licorice and dark chocolate, plus a sexy floral overtone. Fresh, focused red and dark berry flavors are given depth by a note of bitter chocolate and framed by silky tannins. Finishes with very good clarity and mineral snap, with the black raspberry note repeating. Year in and out this is a superb value.
