Vinous: 92pts
Bright ruby-red. Sexy, spice-tinged aromas of red berry preserves, cherry-cola and rose oil, with a suave note of Asian spices in the background. Fleshy and seamless in texture, with juicy red fruit flavors gaining weight and vivacity with air. Blends power and finesse smoothly and finishes on a persistent floral note, with silky tannins adding shape and gentle grip.
