Notes | |||
"The wine is garnet in color with pink hints at the rim. High aromatic intensity, where aromas of berries and licorice are recognized and joined with those from its aging in barrels such as spices, vanilla and anise notes. The palate is smooth due to well-integrated tannin that gives elegance and length for a fruity and balsamic aftertaste." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Aromas of blackberries and cherries with flowers and orange peel. It’s full-bodied, layered and powerful with chewy tannins that are polished and intense. Needs time to soften. Better after 2022." —James Suckling "Deep ruby. Smoke-accented cherry cola, blackberry and floral scents show very good clarity and spicy lift. Broad and chewy in texture, offering ripe dark berry, cherry preserve and licorice flavors and hints of spicecake, vanilla and candied flowers. Closes on an appealingly sweet note, with even tannins and strong, smoky tenacity." —Vinous |
