"Bright dark red with ruby tones. Spectacular nose combines black cherry, dark raspberry, pomegranate and smoke aromas lifted by pepper and lavender nuances. Offers a lusher mouthfeel than the Flying Pig but this is also a step up in penetration and inner-mouth lift. The cherry and darker fruit flavors are complemented by flinty minerality, flowers and candy store spices. Seriously mouth-staining, precise and vibrant, and dense without being weighty, this blend has it all. The rising, spicy finish stains the palate, with perfectly judged tannins supporting the wine without intruding." Vinous.com Dec 2019 |
