This has a lovely, alluring nose that evokes rose, iris, woodland berry, new leather and cake spice along with a whiff of camphor. It's focused and delicious, with juicy Marasca cherry, star anise, clove and mocha flavors framed in taut, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity.
Lots of concentrated cherry fruit on the nose with a hint of spice and a generous layer of fruit on the palate, yet it is light on its feet at the same time. Elegant, lively and long and with a fine layer of crunchy tannins. Just a touch of creaminess on the finish...
