Tasting Note:April 9, 2017

Deep ruby core with some garnet on the edges. Layered nose with lots of floral notes, dark cocoa, fruit bomb too with a mix of black and blue berries, and more baking spices with some vanilla. With some air there was a touch of herbs and a little savory. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium plus bodies. Soft black and blue berries on the attack with some cinnamon and bramble berries. Some dark earthiness, spices and red berries on the plate too. Long and lingering finish.
