This displays a vivid red hue in the glass. The nose proves highly expressive, offering concentrated notes of boysenberry and black raspberry liqueur alongside musky earth tones and pronounced floral character. Smoky mineral inflections and baking spice accents provide additional aromatic complexity. The palate delivers both sweetness and precision, with concentrated red and blue fruit essence joined by spiced cake, cured game, and floral confection. The wine's energy builds considerably through the mid-palate and finish. Fine-grained tannins contribute structural definition without imposing weight. The finish extends impressively, maintaining penetrating intensity while emphatically restating the floral and spice elements observed on entry.
