Score 91/100 · Drink 2020-2025, Josh Raynolds, Feb 2017

Brilliant ruby. Complex aromas of fresh cherry and dark berries, smoky minerals and violet, joined by a licorice nuance as the wine opens up. Smooth, sappy and focused in the mouth, offering gently sweet dark fruit preserve, floral pastille and allspice flavors and a touch of cracked pepper. Shows very good energy and spicy cut on the floral-tinged finish, which is framed by smooth, harmonious tannins.

Score 91-93/100 · Josh Raynolds, Mar 2016

Brilliant ruby. Smoky, mineral-accented cherry and dark berry aromas are complemented by a suggestion of peppery spices. Juicy and penetrating in the mouth, showing excellent depth and focus to the gently sweet cherry and black currant flavors. Opens up very nicely on the long, perfumed finish, which is firmed by subtle, fine-grained tannins.
