Vivid ruby. Displays spice-accented red and blue fruit and floral aromas that show impressive intensity and clarity. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering sappy cherry-cola, blueberry and spicecake flavors and a touch of licorice. The floral notes drive a very long, focused finish that features fine-grained tannins and resonating spiciness.

Score 93-95/100 · Josh Raynolds, May 2020

Pungent, smoke-tinged cherry and dark berry aromas develop suggestions of olive, earth and peony with air. Broad and chewy in the mouth, offering bitter cherry and cassis flavors that tighten up and take a spicy turn as the wine opens up. Finishes appealingly sweet and very long, with lingering florality and steadily building tannins.
