Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Apr 20
Saturated violet. Powerful, mineral-inflected dark berry and floral qualities on the nose, along with a suggestion of succulent herbs. Smooth in texture and nicely concentrated, offering intense cherry, black currant and candied violet flavors that open up steadily through the midpalate. Youthfully chewy tannins lend grip to a very long, smoky finish that leaves a bitter chocolate note behind.
