TASTING NOTE: Very pleasant notes of lightly spiced aronia berries and a hint of sous bois, following through to a medium body with lightly firm, well-integrated tannins and a long, bright finish, leaving an aftertaste of cherry dark chocolate. Serious Valpo and delicious. Drink now. Score - 92 (jamessuckling.com, Oct. 22, 2021) Price $ 17.95
