Here too there is a whiff of herbal tea to the super spicy red currant and overtly floral-suffused nose with its notes of lavender and rose petal. The medium weight flavors are bigger and richer though less mineral-inflected with an abundance of mouth coating dry extract that imparts a velvety mouth feel and buffers the firm structure on the lingering finish. This is a robust and powerful but not rustic effort thanks to the fine grain of the tannins.
