Vinous Comment - Score: 95-96 (2020 May)

A highly expressive, complex bouquet evokes ripe black/blue fruits, exotic spices, potpourri, olive and candied licorice. Palate-staining, appealingly sweet blackberry, mulberry, cherry liqueur, vanilla and violet pastille flavors show fine clarity and a supportive core of juicy acidity. Hangs on with superb tenacity on the youthfully tannic finish, which emphatically repeats the blue fruit, floral and spice notes. Made with 50% new oak.
