"Powerful, mineral-accented black/blue fruit and floral aromas pick up floral and tobacco nuances with air. Fleshy, juicy and well-concentrated, offering ripe boysenberry, cherry liqueur and floral pastille flavors that tighten up steadily on the back half. Densely packed yet lively as well, finishing with resonating florality, youthfully firm tannins and strong persistence." - Vinous: 92-94
