Vinous - 93 points
"Vivid orange-pink. Heady smoke- and spice-accented aromas of candied red berries, tangerine and honeysuckle, with slow-building minerality adding lift. Sappy, deeply concentrated strawberry and blood orange flavors pick up spiciness with air and show excellent clarity. Manages to be powerful and lithe at the same time, showing serious palate presence but no excess fat. Closes toasty and long, with lingering red berry and floral qualities and bright mineral snap. ~
Flavors of ripe cherry, pastry dough, plum, fresh ginger and blanched almond are framed by firm acidity and lightly chalky, yet refined, texture. Floral and spice notes accent the lingering finish. Drink now through 2018. 40 cases imported. ~
