Deep, bright ruby. Intense red and dark berry aromas are complemented by potpourri and smoky herbs. Broad, palate-coating dark fruit flavors become brighter with air and show a distinctly spicy character. Finishes with very good clarity and juicy persistence, repeating the berry and spice notes. This is a remarkable value. These vines are reportedly between 85 and 125 years old and yield less than a kilogram per vine.
