An attractively, even exuberantly spicy nose offers up notes of violet, lavender, plum and more discreet wood influence. The medium-bodied flavors are rich to the point of possessing a velvety texture as there is good dry extract which contributes to the solid mid-palate density, all wrapped in a sappy and bitter cherry pit-inflected finish where the natural minerality of a typical Fuées emerges, Lovely.
