Glistening ruby. Pungent, spice- and smoke-accented cherry cola and black raspberry scents convey a sexy potpourri quality. Silky and expansive in the mouth, offering sappy red and dark fruit preserve, candied rose, vanilla and spicecake flavors that smoothly meld depth and vivacity. Finishes very long and juicy, with velvety tannins framing resonating cherry, floral and exotic spice notes. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2022)

Shimmering red. Smoke- and spice-accented cherry, raspberry and blueberry scents are complemented by suggestions of savory herbs and pungent flowers. Shows very good depth as well as energy to bitter cherry, black raspberry and espresso flavors that take a sweeter turn through the back half. Dusty tannins frame the persistent finish, which leaves cherry pit and fresh bay notes behind. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2022)

Saturated garnet. Energetic, finely etched red fruit and floral scents pick up smoky mineral, blood orange and baking spice flourishes with air. In a lively style, showing excellent clarity and spicy lift to the juicy raspberry, mulberry and cherry cola flavors. Puts on weight with air, with no loss of energy, and finishes impressively long and precise, the floral and spice notes repeating. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2022)
