Deep ruby/purple to the rim. Out of the bottle, this is very closed, with strong spicy oak smells being the only ones coming through. After a few hours, this really opens up into a beautiful nose of spice, oak, sour cherry fruit and earth. On the palate, the fruit has pin-point focus, moreso than the Nieto or Quimera, and a great mouthfeel. Paired excellently with steak and cheeses.
