94 Points - Vinous: Brilliant ruby. Powerful, deep-pitched dark berry, cherry and cola scents are lifted by lively floral and mineral flourishes. Coats the palate with sappy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that show excellent clarity, complicated by fruitcake, licorice and vanilla nuances. Lingers with superb intensity on a spice- and mineral-driven finish that echoes the dark berry and vanilla notes.
