"Deep bright-rimmed ruby. Smoke-accented aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, candied violet and game, along with licorice, olive and camphor notes in the background. Sappy boysenberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors are underscored by a vein of dusty minerality and pick up a salty quality with aeration. The game and licorice notes drive a long, juicy finish framed by firm, building tannins." -Vinous
