94 VM. "Vivid ruby. Fresh red and dark fruit and floral scents are complemented by suggestions of Asian spices, incense and smoky minerals. Stains the palate with intense black raspberry, cherry liqueur and lavender pastille flavors that deepen slowly and spread out on the back half. Deeply concentrated in flavor yet distinctly lithe and focused, offering superb closing power and smooth, harmonious tannins that frame the persistent, alluringly sweet fruit." Vinous, Apr 2016 |
