Tasting Notes

92
Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Jan 16
(aged in used French oak barrels for one year): Deep ruby. Vibrant blackberry and cherry aromas are complicated by suggestions of spicecake and candied lavender. In the mouth, pliant red berry and bitter cherry flavors, with an enlivening hint of white pepper gaining strength on the back half. The very long and incisive finish is given shape by fine-grained tannins and leaves a subtle floral pastille quality behind.
