Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Apr 20
Saturated ruby. Pungent, smoke-accented red and dark berry scents are complemented by suggestions of exotic spices and dried flowers. Broad and fleshy in style, offering juicy blackberry, cherry and spicecake flavors that become livelier with air. Pliant tannins frame the long, penetrating finish, which leaves dark chocolate and licorice notes behind.
