2012 Asuncion Ridge Inception

Glass-staining ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes ripe cherry, blackcurrant, fruitcake and incense, with a peppery spice nuance adding vivacity. Sweet and broad on entry, then tighter in the middle, offering sappy dark fruit flavors that show liqueur-like power. A floral pastille nuance emerges with aeration and carries through a long, smooth, appealingly sweet finish.
