2017 sisu - 92 pts from Vinous
Glass-staining ruby. Blueberry, cherry, candied flowers and hints of olive, smoked meat and cracked pepper on the fragrant nose. Appealingly sweet and chewy in the mouth, showing very good depth to the juicy, smoke-accented black/blue fruit and mocha flavors. Shows a repeating floral note and spicy lift on the youthfully tannic finish, which leaves behind a building dark fruit liqueur note.
