"Dark magenta. Lively and sharply focused on the nose, displaying mineral-laced scents of ripe red berries, lavender, Asian spices and blood orange. Sweet and seamless in texture, offering incisive strawberry, cherry and spicecake flavors that deepen and spread out with air. Shows an appealingly light touch given its power and finishes spicy and impressively long, with mounting tannins and an echo of candied flowers." Josh Raynolds, Vinous.com, Aug 2016 |
