...develops lovely raspberry, crushed strawberry and orange blossom scents that become very detailed and focused...palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, nice poise and energy, and fine tension building toward a vivacious finish replete with red fruit, blood orange and just a hint of beet.

Finishes very long and spicy, with horizontal, mouthcoating tannins and palate-saturating sweet and savory elements.
