Elias Mora 2014

(fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for six months in new American oak barrels) Deep ruby. Dark berries, cherry pit, incense and vanilla on the perfumed nose, joined by a smoky element that emerges with air. Supple, palate-coating black currant and bitter cherry flavors are accompanied by mocha and cola flourishes. The sweet, persistent finish features repeating vanilla and spice notes, while supple tannins add shape and grip. Drinking Window: 2019-2025. Score - 91. (Josh Raynolds, vinous.com, Oct. 2016 )
