Offers an expressive nose of cherry skin, muddled raspberry, and black plum, layered with notes of violet, licorice, sweet thyme, and warm baking spice. The palate is dense and polished, with ripe red and dark fruit balanced by vibrant acidity and supple, silky tannins. Accents of vanilla bean, Chinese five-spice, and a touch of freshly ground espresso add depth to a long, resonant finish.
