Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Mar 14
Inky purple. Ripe, expansive dark berry compote and violet aromas are complicated by suggestions of cola, licorice and cured tobacco. The palate offers deeply pitched blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that show a seamless quality and emphatic spiciness. Finishes smoky and long, with smooth tannins and lingering dark berry character.
