Rich, garnet color. Secondary aromas of lavender, licorice, dried figs, and forest floor. Med + tannins, med + body, with additional notes of cassis and cherry. Long finish. Very complex, enjoyable now but will definitely improve with additional bottle age.

Drank a little early, good enough to buy twice in two days however. Still a little sharp but super bright and youthful.

Improves in the glass as distinct notes of cocoa come out. Quickly terminating finish.
