"Rich, ripe and expressive, not heavy but bursting with complex coffee and sassafras overtones to the dark berry and plum fruit. Has depth and lingers easily. Best from 2016 through 2022.—H.S."

"Dark, bright red. Enticing floral lift to the aromas of cherry, cocoa powder, mint and menthol. Lovely rose petal perfume adds sex appeal to the concentrated cherry and dark raspberry fruit. Juicy, pure, persistent wine given shape by firm acidity. - Stephen Tanzer"
