9.2

Lurid magenta. Expansive aromas of mineral-tinged red berries, incense and cola, joined by a suave floral nuance as the wine opens up. Appealingly sweet and seamless on the palate, offering juicy raspberry, cherry, spicecake and candied licorice flavors that are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Finishes smooth and long, with gentle tannins and lingering floral pastille and star anise notes. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2019)

Wonderfully funky, damp, like walking through wet, mossy woods on a gray fall day. Second day drinking reminded me of a damp, unfinished cellar. On closeout at Portalis... wonder if I could get another couple bottles? — 9 years ago
