2016 Linne Calodo Nemesis Paso Robles (750ml)

"96 out of 100 - Youthful purple. Exotically perfumed aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, licorice candy, five-spice powder and cola, complicated by a suave floral oil nuance. Broad and deeply concentrated on the palate, offering sweet, mineral-tinged cassis and cherry compote flavors along with suggestions of candied violet and cola. Stains the palate and shows superb power and spicy lift on an extremely long, youthfully tannic finish that emphatically repeats the spice and floral notes." - Josh Raynolds vinous.com
