"Deep ruby. Powerful, mineral-accented aromas of ripe dark berries and candied violet, joined by slowly emerging hints of blood orange and cured meat. Palate-staining black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors unfurl and become sweeter with air, picking up an exotic touch of star anise on the back half. The mineral and floral notes come back strong on the clinging, gently tannic finish, adding energy and strong closing lift." Vinous, Jul 2016 |
