Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Feb 21
Inky ruby. An explosively perfumed bouquet displays aromas of ripe dark berries, incense and vanilla, and a floral nuance adds lift. Stains the palate with potent black and blue fruit liqueur and violet pastille flavors, while an undercurrent of zesty acidity provides spine and lift. Chewy tannins build slowly and steadily through a long, focused finish, where the dark fruit and floral notes repeat.
