Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Nov 15
Inky ruby. Explosive cherry compote, cassis, licorice and floral oil scents are complemented by of spicecake and cola. Sweet, concentrated and broad on the palate, offering intense dark berry liqueur and violet pastille flavors enlivened by a peppery, spicy element and a jolt of smoky minerals. Combines richness and vivacity smoothly and finishes sappy and extremely long, with repeating spiciness and smooth, slow-building tannins.
