Color is deep, dark purple - to point of being almost black. Nose gives off aromas of iron blackberries, dark chocolate, pomegranate, clove, nutmeg, blueberries, roast lamb. Lighter on the palate than one would expect given the color and density of this wine. Tart blackberries, sage, baked blueberries, clove, sauteed mushrooms and rosemary swirl about in the mouth, finishing with juicy acidity and dried rosemary.
