Opaque magenta. Spice-accented aromas of red and dark berry preserves, candied flowers and incense, along with a suave floral overtone. Fleshy, sweet and well-concentrated, offering palate-caressing black raspberry, cherry and lavender pastille flavors that turn livelier with air. Conveys an appealing blend of depth and energy and finishes bright and long, with resonating florality and discreet tannins. 15% new oak. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2022)
