"Inky violet. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, candied flowers and exotic spices, and a smoky mineral element builds in the glass. Palate-staining cassis, bitter cherry and salty olive flavors turn sweeter and spicier on the back half. Blends power and finesse with a sure hand and finishes very long and focused, with fine-grained tannins coming in late." Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Apr 2020 |
