Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Feb 21
Deep ruby. Highly perfumed aromas of black fruit preserves, cherry pastry, mocha and incense, along with cola and toasty oak notes that expand with aeration. Sappy, concentrated and lively on the palate, offering deeply concentrated blueberry, cherry-vanilla, spicecake and violet pastille flavors given spine and lift by a core of juicy acidity. Delivers a suave blend of richness and finesse and finishes extremely long and appealingly sweet, with rounded tannins building slowly.
