Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Josh Raynolds
Limpid ruby color. Expressive red fruit preserve, lavender and baking spice scents show excellent clarity and pick up a suggestion of incense with air. Gently chewy and lively on the palate. Alluringly sweet cherry, raspberry and spicecake flavors deepen steadily on the back half. It shows impressive concentration but comes off vibrant, finishing extremely long and spicy, with well-judged tannins adding final grip.
