Tasting note

Deep ruby. Mineral-accented dark berries, licorice and pungent flowers on the highly perfumed nose. Smooth and concentrated, offering ripe black raspberry and floral pastille flavors complicated by a dark chocolate quality that sneaks in on the back half. Sweet and focused on the clinging finish, which shows very good clarity and round, harmonious tannins. Drinking window: 2019-2024. Score - 91. (Josh Raynolds, vinous.com, Feb. 2016)

Color: Nearly black with purple undertones, Nose: Spectacular, very complex, intense and deep on notes of Gentian, liquorice, Cyprus trees and pink pepper, Mouth: Powerful and very structured with dense tannins.

Ripe and fleshy, but pure and unadorned, with sleek plum, blackberry and red currant fruit stitched seamlessly together, guided by a long, warm stone-filled finish. Very fresh. Wine Spectator 91 Points
