Deep, shimmering violet. Intensely perfumed cherry, cassis, potpourri and licorice aromas are complemented by smoky minerality and exotic spice nuances. Sappy and seamless in texture, offering bitter cherry and blue fruit flavors that expand and become sweeter with aeration. Shows excellent clarity and finishes impressively long and spicy, with round, even tannins and a lingering suggestion of blueberry preserves. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2021)

Spice with not much dark fruit nose, medium to full body. Fine Tannin and considerable acidity make it well long lasting.

Nice nose with a deep red body & a medium to full body with little complexity but well integrated tannin & fruit & a decent medium length aftertaste.

Varietal characteristics. Dark fruits, some spice and pepper. Strong tannins, but still smooth. Drinking well now but could happily sit another few years.
