Tasting Notes
Vinous 92.5
Good deep red. Reticent red fruits, rose petal and minerals on the high-pitched nose. Suave and perfumed in the mouth, with red fruit flavors framed and lifted by sappy spices and flowers. The juicy finish shows sneaky length. This offers terrific potential but will require patience.

This is turning out a bit better than I originally foresaw with its softly floral and overtly spicy nose of both red and black earth-infused aromas. There a seductive texture to the attractively sweet and layered full-bodied flavors that possess a taut muscularity and perfect balance on the velvety and palate coating finish. As lovely as this is however note well that it is still some years away from its apogee and continued patience will be required. In a word, terrific.
