A sculpted, full-bodied red, showing elegance overall, with dense yet fine-grained tannins married to a silky texture. Offers flavors of baked black cherry, black raspberry ganache, fig cake and olive tapenade. Pretty accents of fresh thyme, anise, graphite and espresso play on the lively, fluid finish.
