Full ruby. Brooding aromas of medicinal cherry, blueberry, flowers, resin and menthol, all lifted by an exhilarating rose petal note. Juicy and tightly wound, with a lovely light touch to its dark fruit, graphite and floral flavors. Perhaps best today on the long, ripely tannic finish, which leaves behind an enticing perfume.
