“Dark depths of wilted violets, cedar, cloves, worn leather and dried strawberry form a seductive old-world bouquet as it blossoms in the glass. This sweeps across the palate with a mineral-laden blend of orange and tart red berries as edgy tannins slowly mount toward the close.”
— Eric Guido, 2023
