A restrained if markedly spicy nose blends notes of black cherry liqueur, raspberry, exotic tea and a plenitude of floral elements. The focused, detailed and punchy broad-shouldered flavors possess an exceptionally rich and sappy mid-palate impression yet the strikingly long and built-to-age finish is youthfully austere, compact and linear. This appears to possess outstanding development potential though patience will definitely be required to realize it.
