Opaque ruby. Wild, gamey dark berry and cherry liqueur aromas are given an exotic twist by dried lavender, smoked meat, roasted coffee and iron. Deep and rich, with impressively concentrated dark fruit flavors, very soft tannins and a palate-staining finish. There’s nothing commercial about this earthy, strikingly complex and unique blend.
