Geoffrey Moss, MW - Rich, dark cherry fruit is layered with chocolate and sweet oak spices, leading to a structured palate with fine-grained tannins and intense, ripe fruit that carries the long finish
91John Schriener
The aromas just jump from the glass, with notes of cassis, dark cherry and blueberry. That is echoed on the rich and satisfying palate, where the fruit mingles with spice, plum and chocolate
