"At first opening, the wine shows fresh boysenberry and blueberry aromas with some cranberry notes. After about 20 minutes, it develops flavors of dark blossom violets, rose and brown spice, clove, and cinnamon. As it sits in your glass this wine develops in complexity yet again with distinct essences of mocha, dark chocolate, tar and sweet tobacco. With a beautiful, red brick color, wonderful full mid-palette and great structure, this truly is an elegant wine." -Jeff Gaffner
