"Attractive purple with mulberry tones and a bright magenta rim. On the nose, juicy raspberry with tobacco, vanilla and savory satsuma plum and raisins. On the palate, remarkable structure with unctuous juicy red fruits lined with savory salty plums well-orchestrated tannins and expansive pomegranate with a polish mineral ironstone, the finish evoque flowers of rose and violets." - Winemaker Notes
"The wine is intensely concentrated in fruit flavor and tannin, with pomegranate, mulberry, violets, licorice, fennel, blood plum and cherry. There are pink peppercorns and pressed roses, with ozone and tarmac in profusion. There's a slinkiness to this wine that I appreciate; it is cleansing like summer rain, and it is inky and just a little bit chewy. The purity of expression here is so impressive. Fermented without additions, it matured in older oak for eight months." - 95 Points, Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
