Product details

(malo and aging in new and used French oak barriques) Inky ruby. Cherry compote, blackberry, woodsmoke and a sexy vanilla nuance on the nose; a pipe tobacco note gains strength with aeration. Juicy, palate-coating dark fruit flavors show a deft mix of power and energy and pick up an exotic floral pastille flourish on the back half. Finishes smooth, sappy and impressively long, featuring strong echoes of sweet dark berries and peppery spices. Drinking Window: 2021-2028. Score - 93. (Josh Raynolds, vinous.com, Oct. 2017)
