"Deep violet. Spice- and smoke-accented cherry and cassis aromas display very good clarity and complementary vanilla and floral nuances. Bitter cherry, blackberry and spicecake flavors show very good depth and turn sweeter with air. Gently gripping tannins build slowly on a long, dark-fruit-dominated finish that leaves hints of mocha, candied violet and baking spices behind." - Vinous
