Vinous Comment - Score: 94-96 (2020 May)

Powerful, spice- and mineral-accented cherry and blackberry scents, along with suggestions of smoked meat, incense, licorice and exotic flowers. Impressively concentrated as well energetic on the palate, offering intense black/blue fruit, floral pastille and allspice flavors that show fine definition and become sweeter with air. Closes extremely long, chewy and sweet, showing bright, spicy cut on the youthfully tannic, floral-driven finish.
