Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Nov 15
Glass-staining ruby. Heady, exotically perfumed bouquet evokes ripe cherry and red berries, along with suggestions of incense, potpourri and woodsmoke. Deeply concentrated raspberry and cherry-cola flavors are complemented by floral pastille and spicecake nuances. Completely stains the palate and shows superb energy on a long, sappy finish that features velvety tannins and an echo of candied flowers.
