Dark ruby core with garnet edges. Tight nose with dusty cherries. Opened up over an hour or so with cinnamon, red berries, anise, a touch savory and light herbaceous notes in the finish. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium plus bodied. Great acidity and structure. Notes of dark cocoa, red cherries, a touch smokey, floral notes, spices, and a bit of eucalyptus or mint. Very interesting with a dustiness that lingers throughout. Long finish.
