Sans Other Reviews�Brilliant ruby. High-pitched, mineral-accented blackberry and cherry pit aromas are complicated by notes of olive, spicecake and licorice, and a suave floral quality builds as the wine opens up. Sappy and expansive on the palate, offering sweet dark berry liqueur and violet pastille flavors lifted and sharpened by a smoky mineral component. Shows impressive vivacity for a warm vintage and finishes spicy, focused and long, with fine-grained tannins adding shape.91-93 pointsJosh Raynolds �Vinous
