Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Apr 21
Dark garnet. Perfumed, spice-accented cherry and dark berries on the nose, with suggestions of vanilla and pipe tobacco emerging as the wine opens up. Palate-coating black raspberry and cherry cola flavors deepen on the back half while maintaining energy. Well-knit tannins build slowly and steadily on a long, sweet finish that leaves repeating and baking spice notes behind.
