94 VM. "Dark purple. A highly complex bouquet evokes dark berry liqueur, cherry-vanilla, pipe tobacco and succulent flowers, along with emerging spiciness. Sappy and broad in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated black/blue fruit, rose pastille, spice-cake and mocha flavors braced by a core of juicy acidity. Finishes smoky and impressively long, with sharp clarity, mounting tannins and lingering smokiness." Josh Raynolds, Vinous.com, Dec 2020 |
