Deep, lurid ruby. Powerful, smoke-accented aromas of black currant, cherry liqueur, vanilla and candied licorice; a suave floral nuance builds in the glass. Alluringly sweet and broad on the palate, offering deeply concentrated black and blue fruit, mocha and floral pastille flavors and a touch of spicecake. Shows excellent delineation and solid punch on an impressively long, dark berry-driven finish framed by slow-building, harmonious tannins. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2021)
