Vinous Comment - Score: 92 (2019 September)

Opaque ruby. Mineral- and spice-accented aromas of dark berries, cracked pepper and licorice, along with a hint of olive and building smokiness. Juicy and broad in the mouth, showing very good depth as well as energy to the bitter cherry, blackberry and floral pastille flavors. Supple tannins build on the finish, which shows smoky mineral cut and strong, spice-driven persistence.
