Bright violet. Spice-accented cherry and blackberry aromas are complemented by vanilla and floral pastille nuances. Supple dark fruit and spicecake flavors reveal hints of licorice and mocha on the back half. Velvety and broad on the persistent finish, which features even tannins and lingering floral and spice qualities. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, September 2019)

Full of surprises! Peppery, mysterious aromatics but juicy and fancy free on the palate.

Totally drinkable! Acidity that makes you want to sip again and again. Primary black fruits and depth. What a treat. Thx @grapelyle
