Score 90-92/100 · Josh Raynolds, Apr 2018
(raised entirely in concrete vats) Full ruby. Intense raspberry and cherry aromas, along with suggestions of allspice, white pepper and pungent flowers. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering gently sweet red fruit and spicecake flavors that firm up slowly with air. Clings with very good tenacity on the finish, which features rounded tannins and an echo of sweet red fruit.
