Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Apr 19
Saturated ruby. A complex bouquet evokes spice-accented red/dark berry preserves, potpourri and Asian spices, with a building vanilla nuance. Offers sappy, palate-staining raspberry, bitter cherry and lavender pastille flavors that show outstanding depth as well as energy. Five-spice powder, cola and vanilla notes build on an impressively long finish that features rounded tannins and a lingering floral quality.
