Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Feb 21
Opaque ruby. Ripe, mineral-accented dark berries, cherry cola, mocha, potpourri and an exotic incense nuance on the deeply perfumed nose. Smooth and broad on the palate, offering impressively concentrated blackberry liqueur and cherry pie flavors along with subtle hints of vanilla, candied licorice and spicecake. A smoky nuance comes up with air and lingers on the impressively long, youthfully tannic finish, which echoes the floral and mineral notes.
