92 ST. "Dark purple. Powerful, expansive aromas of dark fruit liqueur, sandalwood, mocha, star anise and potpourri. Stains the palate with intense dark berry and bitter cherry flavors, with a sappy lavender pastille nuance adding an exotic flourish. Chewy tannins slowly come up with air and add shape to an impressively long, spice-accented finish." Vinous, May 2013 |
