"91 Vinous
Review Date: 03/2016
Opaque ruby. An intensely perfumed bouquet evokes fresh dark berries, cherry compote and violet, while exotic vanilla and peppery spice notes add complexity. Pliant blackberry and boysenberry flavors show good depth, breadth and gentle sweetness plus a touch of smokiness. The spice and blue fruit qualities carry through the finish, which hangs on with very good tenacity and building tannins. (AG)"
