Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Dec 15
Bright purple. Sexy, expressive aromas of cassis, candied licorice, Indian spices and toasty oak, along with notes of incense and mocha. Sweet, pliant and expansive on the palate, offering intense black and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors that become livelier and spicier with air. Dense but vibrant and light on its feet, finishing with excellent clarity and mineral-driven thrust.
