This is one that people will talk about! It's vibrant, exotic and well-proportioned with ample baking spice, exquisitely ripe blackberries and popping-ripe blueberries. The attack is rich in viscosity and unctuously ripe flavors of black cherries and boysenberries along with scented, toasty oak and licorice. The finish is notably long and layered, and the smooth tannins meld in easily. Some zippy acidity lift gives this excellent freshness.
