Burghound: 93 Points
a touch of menthol present on the brooding and restrained aromas of decidedly earthy red and black currant scents that exhibit background hints of spice and violet. The dense, palate coating and sappy broad-shouldered flavors culminate in a hugely long finish that is once powerful and serious but not at all rustic.
