A medley of sweet ripe red fruits on the nose recalling wild strawberry, marionberry, cassis, black cherry, and even rhubarb pie among aromas of vanilla, new leather, floral notes, fresh sage, and toasted marshmallow. The ripe fruit is complemented by a vibrant acidity bringing the mouthfeel into an impressive balance. The fine-grained firm tannins are elegant and attractive; their impression remaining on the palate throughout the long finish.
