Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Jul 19
Black cherry and cassis aromas are complemented by black pepper, peony and smoked meat nuances. Taut and structured on the palate, offering mineral-laced dark berry, bitter cherry and licorice flavors that slowly turn sweeter on the back half. Displays sharp delineation and floral drive on the youthfully tannic finish, which hangs on with strong, mineral persistence.
