Saturated ruby-red. An expansive bouquet evokes ripe, spice-tinged red and dark berry, garrigue, potpourri and incense qualities and a smoky mineral topnote. Stains the palate with concentrated Chambord, cherry-cola, candied lavender and fruitcake flavors that become more lively as the wine stretches out. There's impressive energy here, especially given the wine's heft. Polished tannins lend shape to an impressively tenacious finish that echoes the floral and Chambord notes.
