Critic Scores
Good deep red with ruby highlights. Superripe, liqueur-like cherry and raspberry aromas are complicated by fig and ineffable spices. Then dramatically more tight and vibrant in the mouth, with urgent minty lift to the perfumed flavors of boysenberry, blueberry and violet. Classically dry, intensely flavored wine with outstanding freshness and palate-staining violet and bitter chocolate perfume. This wine is still a bit unknowable at its dark center but would appear to have a great future in bottle.
