A strikingly spicy nose offers up notes of anise, hoisin and soy along with notes of Asian-style tea, violet and red and dark pinot fruit. There is a bit more mid-palate density to the seductive textured, velvety and mouthcoating flavors that possess better depth and persistent on the slightly firmer finale.
