Vinous Comment - Score: 95-97 (2017 April)

Youthful purple. Raspberry, boysenberry, incense and smoky Indian spices on the intensely perfumed, mineral-accented nose. Sweet, creamy and surprisingly energetic for its heft, offering vibrant dark fruit, floral pastille, fruitcake and mineral flavors that betray no rough edges. The floral and spice notes expand steadily on the youthfully tannic finish, which shows noteworthy purity, focus and mineral-driven tenacity.
