Tasting Notes

94
Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Feb 21
Saturated ruby. Assertive aromas of cassis, blackberry, cherry preserves, vanilla and potpourri, plus oak spice and mineral topnotes. Alluringly sweet and concentrated, offering intense black and blue fruit, mocha, bitter chocolate and candied lavender flavors supported by an undercurrent of juicy acidity. Steadily building tannins add shape and grip to an extremely long, juicy finish that emphatically echoes the dark berry and floral notes.
