Energetic black raspberry and cherry scents are complemented by hints of black pepper, smoky bacon and succulent flowers. Juicy, appealingly sweet, spice-tinged red and dark flavors show fine delineation and turn livelier with air. A zesty mineral element adds lift and nervy cut to the long, floral-driven finish, which is framed by smooth, slowly building tannins. 70% whole clusters.
