Josh Raynolds for Vinous, 91 Points: "Dark ruby. Ripe cherry and dark berry aromas are complicated by notes of pungent flowers, cracked pepper and vanilla. Juicy and broad on the palate, offering gently sweet black and blue fruit flavors that firm up and turn spicier on the back half. The long, spice-accented finish features subtle, fine-grained tannins and a repeating cherry note."
