Tasting note

A deft application of wood sets off spice and floral-infused aromas of ultra-pure red berries along with Asian-style tea nuances. The classy and gorgeously intense flavors possess notably fine detail as well as a driving minerality while being supported by dense but fine-grained tannins on the gorgeously complex finale. This is a most impressive effort with superb underlying material.

Score: 91-94
