TASTING NOTES

Ripe, spice-accented dark berry liqueur, candied violet, incense and licorice scents, along with hints of olive paste and smoky, exotic spices. Palate-staining boysenberry, cherry liqueur, floral pastille and fruitcake flavors show impressive depth and an undercurrent of smoky minerality. Expands steadily with air and finishes extremely long and minerally, with youthfully chewy tannins and outstanding, floral-driven persistence.

Josh Reynolds, Vinous.

Classic notes of crushed stone and cassis on the nose and is nicely medium to full-bodied on the palate. Black olives and dark berries are borne on a creamy palate, and the finish is silky and licorice tinged. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.

Joe  Czerwinski, Wine Advocate.
