Ripe plums, red currants, violets, Italian herbs, and exotic spice dominate the nose. The perfume of the nose follows through with a certain smokiness and flavors of darker berries, licorice, -cardamom, star anise, and cinnamon. The wine is fresh, plummy, and vibrant with hints of fennel seed, orange peel, cloves, and black pepper lingering on a juicy finish.
