Lucious in flavor. Rich dark fruit (tart cherry, blackberry), if aged more savory and herbaceous notes come through (licorice, dried herbs, black pepper). Medium bodied, sharp acidity, soft tannins, ABV is usually between 12-14.5%, cellar 3-7 years (if you have the patience 😉) for extra complexity.
