Glistening ruby-red. A hugely perfumed bouquet displays an array of ripe red and blue fruit, exotic spice and floral pastille qualities, along with hints of musky underbrush, smoky minerals and hoisin sauce. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, which offers sweet boysenberry, candied plum, spicecake and dark chocolate flavors that become livelier as the wine opens up. Manages to smoothly balance power and delicacy and finishes with outstanding clarity and youthfully tannic persistence. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, June 2019)
