Saturday, October 29, 2011 - Dark ruby with brick highlights. Tight at the very start, the nose easily opens up to display liqueur like aromas of cassis and damson along with mocha, licorice and a touch of sweet spice. Some floral accents like violets add up to its complexity. As the nose also suggests, this is bold and still a bit aggressive, almost spirity making me think in blind tasting that this is from the New World.
