Tasting Notes

92-94
Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Apr 17
Inky purple. Expansive aromas of ripe dark berries, Indian spices and violet, along with a suave, smoky mineral overtone. Fleshy, densely packed blackberry and blueberry flavors show excellent clarity and pungent floral and cracked pepper qualities. Finishes extremely long and sweet, offering solid thrust, velvety tannins and a note of candied dark berries.
