Inky violet. Powerful, ripe aromas of dark berry liqueur with a good dose of vanillin oak. Lush, creamy and round, with deep, sweet boysenberry and mulberry flavors along with exotic oak spice and vanilla tones. Very long on the finish, with a palate-saturating flavor of sweet dark berry liqueur note, with great length and palate coverage. I wonder about the oak here.
