Borsao 2016 Tres Picos 750ml

92 Points – Josh Raynolds, Vinous (May 2017): “(fermented in small stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels, followed by 10 months of aging in French oak) Opaque ruby. Powerful aromas of black currant and candied cherry pick up incense, vanilla and exotic spice nuances with air. Deeply concentrated dark berry and spicecake flavors are complicated by notes of smoky minerals and floral pastilles, while a subtle peppery quality adds spiciness. Supple tannins give shape to the very long, smoke-tinged finish, where the floral note echoes strongly.”
