Score 93/100 · Drink 2025-2033, Josh Raynolds, Apr 2020
Opaque ruby. Smoke-accented dark berry, cherry liqueur and cured meat scents show excellent clarity and a suave floral topnote. Concentrated yet lively blackberry, cherry and spicecake flavors take on violet and olive nuances with air. Finishes with strong, spice-tinged persistence, mounting tannins and a faint touch of smoked meat.

Cask sample. Tasted blind. Reductive, rubbery nose. However, the palate has excellent black-cherry fruit ripeness with a touch of bitter herbal complexity to finish. Grainy, rough tannins. Needs time. (RH)
