A seductive red that's just hitting its stride, showing exotic spices and baked cherry woven with dusty, fresh-turned earth and singed apple wood. Offers finely crushed iron and appealing menthol notes that round out the profile, with serious concentration and good energy throughout. Delivers a charming sense of place.
