Medium ruby, with a little purple. Herbal notes with red and white cherries, and white plums, which lead directly into the palate of charred plum with chocolate, light toast, raspberries, and pepper. Lots of rich, ripe fruit, both cooked and fresh, with a sprinkling of Sichuan peppercorn. Alcohol is hot on the finish, and the tannins only lightly drying.
