Vinous Comment - Score: 94 (2015 February)

Opaque ruby. Heady aromas of fresh dark berries, cherry compote, potpourri and incense, along with a minerally topnote. Sweet and velvety in texture, offering deep, palate-staining dark berry and violet pastille flavors enlivened by juicy acidity. Supple tannins build slowly on the long, penetrating finish, which leaves notes of blue fruit and candied flowers behind.
