Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Jun 21
Limpid violet. Highly perfumed, mineral- and spice-accented black raspberry and cherry scents and a suave floral topnote on the expressive nose. Juicy and energetic in the mouth, showing impressive clarity to the intense red and blue fruit and spicecake flavors, which deepen through the back half. Delivers building florality and spicy thrust on the incisive, gently tannic finish, which leaves behind floral pastille and licorice notes.
