Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Nov 11
Opaque purple. Explosive aromas of black and blue fruit liqueurs, smoky Indian spices, mocha and minerals, with a sexy floral quality in the background. Fleshy and smooth, with excellent clarity and spicy lift to its cassis and mulberry flavors. Repeats the blue fruit note on the very long, sweet, focused finish. This is delicious now but has the depth to age as well.
