Score 92/100 · Drink 2019-2026, Josh Raynolds, Jun 2016
Inky purple. Potent, smoke-tinged dark berry aromas are complemented by suggestions of cola, licorice and candied flowers. Fleshy and appealingly sweet on the palate, offering concentrated black raspberry, cassis and violet pastille flavors underscored by energizing spiciness. Shows very good balance and spicy lift on the impressively persistent finish, which is framed by smooth, harmonious tannins. This is the finest example of this variety that I have had from the New World and as good as virtually anything that I have tasted from Madiran as well.
