The nose is driven by rich, exotic, forward aromas of beeswax, baked stone fruits and sappy, oily intensity. The palate is dense and opulent, displaying a generously weighty texture balanced by the structure and poise that runs through the Saxum roster. The finish is rich and decadent, laden with ripe orchard fruit and dark spice flavors and braced with balancing acidity. | Matthew Luczy for Wine Advocate
