The wine is red in color with a purple tinge. On the nose there are aromas of cherry liqueur, chocolate, briar, nutmeg and roasted almonds. The palate is mouth-filling; medium to full bodied in weight and exhibits plenty of ripe black cherry fruit. Subtle barrel ferment characters of chocolate, nuts and spice add complexity. The wine is well structured with rich integrated tannins and it finishes with lingering fruit.
