"Opaque ruby. Intensely perfumed bouquet of black raspberry, sassafras and potpourri scents, complicated by notes of incense and musky herbs. Deeply concentrated dark berry preserve flavors are given spine by zesty minerals and complicated by exotic floral pastille and allspice qualities. Possesses excellent concentration and sweetness as well as vivacity, finishing with impressive breadth and a persistent floral pastille note." Vinous, Jul 2011 |
