"Glass-staining ruby. Mineral- and smoke-accented dark berries and licorice on the deeply perfumed nose, along with a hint of pungent flowers that adds complexity. Juicy cherry, blackcurrant and spicecake flavors are supported by an undercurrent of smoky minerality that gains strength as the wine opens up. The floral nuance comes back strong on an imprecisely long, dark fruit-dominated finish that's framed by smooth, harmonious tannins." Vinous, Nov 2017 |
