Score 96/100 · Drink 2021-2028, Josh Raynolds, Mar 2016

(white capsule): Glass-staining ruby. Intense smoke- and mineral-accented aromas of ripe dark berries, cherry liqueur and pungent flowers. Spicy and sharply focused on entry, then deeper and sweeter in the mid-palate, offering spice-tinged, palate-staining black raspberry and violet pastille flavors supported by tangy acidity. Finishes bright, silky and extremely long, showing remarkable clarity, harmonious tannins and a lingering mineral note.

Score 92-94/100 · Josh Raynolds, Feb 2015

Deep ruby. Lively aromas of red berries, violet, fennel and cracked pepper. Silky, sweet and precise on the palate, boasting very good intensity to its red fruit liqueur and floral pastille flavors. Vibrant and seamless in texture, offering pinot-like clarity, weight and floral character. Strikes a suave balance between power and finesse, with no rough edges. Finishes sappy and extremely long, with excellent focus, gentle tannins and a resonating floral note.
