Turing to the palate added strawberry, red cherry, pomegranate, bramble, thyme, sage, sweet cinnamon fireball, walnut, caramel, with a little cream on the finish. High everything; acidity, tannin which are fine grain, full body, and intensity of flavors. Layers of complexity carefully and intentionally crafted.
