Deep, shimmering ruby. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, incense and potpourri, while olive and exotic spice nuances emerge with aeration. Palate-staining cassis, kirsch, spicecake and olive flavors show outstanding detail and are sharpened by a smoky mineral flourish. A core of juicy acidity lends freshness to the strikingly long, penetrating and smoky finish, which features polished tannins and resonating floral and spice notes. 95 Points Josh Raynolds, vinous.com
