This wine’s dark black core shows hints of rust, which leak into its bright cherry rim. The nose smells of mulled wine and baking spice. The flavors show more of the same, and the palate brings a rather flat sensation of limited acidity and overripe fruit. The tannins are round and soft, aiding the wine in its drinkability. Rather evolved and with a short finish, this wine is ready to drink in the near term.
