Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Feb 21
Inky ruby. Expansive aromas of ripe blackberry, cherry cola, boysenberry and smoky minerals are complicated by potpourri and allspice flourishes. Lush, intensely flavored and impressively concentrated, offering deep black and blue fruit, mocha and floral pastille flavors and a suave spicecake nuance. Finishes smooth, sweet and extremely long, with resonating spiciness, lingering florality and slowly building tannins.
