Tasting Notes

91
Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Apr 20
Inky ruby. High-toned dark berry, floral, game and spice qualities on the incisive nose and in the mouth. Shows solid thrust and a touch of licorice as it opens up. Finishes quite long, with lingering suggestions of bitter cherry and olive that are framed by dusty, steadily building tannins. This is a wild one, no question.
