Description
Wine Enthusiast
Dark garnet to the eye, this wine offers a bouquet of cherry marmalade, bramble berries and coffee. It is rich from first sip, with opulent tannins and flavors of black cherry, pomegranate, salted toffee and Turkish delight that play on the tongue into a finish marked by notes of earthiness.
93, Wine Spectator
An enticing red, with delicate aromas of anise, graphite and violet pulling you into the glass, where a creamy range of black cherry and plum reduction, mocha, red licorice and loamy earth is well-meshed with sinewy tannins. Long and fresh, with a lingering, spiced finish. Drink now through 2031. 1,500 cases made, 750 cases imported. — AN
Vinous
Bright ruby-red. Highly perfumed red fruit, floral and spice aromas are complemented by subtle vanilla and coconut accents. Smooth, focused and gently sweet, offering raspberry, cherry-vanilla and candied rose flavors and an earthier hint of tobacco. Fine-grained tannin’s lend shape to a long, energetic finish that strongly repeats the red fruit note. Raised in a 50/50 mix of French and American oak barrels, 25% of them new.
