94 VM. "Dark purple. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes candied black and blue fruits, licorice and potpourri, with smoke and mineral overtones. Lush and expansive, with hefty boysenberry and bitter cherry flavors underscored by racy acidity and a touch of floral pastille. The licorice note comes back strong on an uncommonly long finish highlighted by a sexy floral quality." Vinous, Sep 2012 |
