Deep ruby red. A little tight on the nose with a bit of red berries and baking spices. Some more darker fruits on day two. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. A touch savory with notes of anise, bramble berries, raspberries, and even a little caramel. Solid acidity with a medium plus finish.
