"Alluring aromas of pie cherry filling, dried strawberry and plum skins make their way onto a finesse-filled palate that’s smooth with blackcurrant jelly flavors with lingering brightness for a fetching finish."

Vinous | 92 pts

“Bright red. Spice-accented red and dark berry aromas pick up complementary suggestions of succulent herbs, potpourri and smoky minerals with aeration. Juicy and appealingly sweet, offering densely packed black raspberry, cherry cola and rose pastille flavors, and five-spice powder and musky earth flourishes. Closes impressively long and youthfully chewy, with repeating cherry character and dusty tannins that add shape and closing grip.”
