"Lurid ruby-red. Primary dark berries, candied flowers and peppery spices on the lively nose. Juicy and sharply focused, offering energetic black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that flesh out and deepen with air. Shows appealing sweetness and spicy cut on the finish, which is given shape by gentle, slow-building tannins. This is a more genteel rendition of this bottling than its funky 2013 sibling, that's for sure."
