Deep purple color. Aromas of lime leaf, ripe blood orange, powdery florals, musk, and leather with a satiny, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a silky, intricate, very long candied almond, chocolate genache, plum preserves, nutmeg, cherry, and tomato vine finish with earthy tannins and moderate oak flavor. A perfumed, twisting, turning Merlot with lots of complexities to discover.
