CRITIC REVIEWS
Josh Raynolds
Bright purple. Deeply pitched aromas of spice-accented black and blue fruits, candied flowers, olive and exotic spices are sharpened by a smoky mineral nuance. Densely packed as well as energetic on the palate, offering bitter cherry, blueberry, candied licorice and fruitcake flavors that firm up slowly with air and take on a sweet cola note. The blue fruit and mineral notes drive a strikingly long, floral-accented finish that's given grip by chewy, steadily building tannins.
