Reviews

90pts
"Markedly ripe aromas include those of poached dark berry fruit, cassis, spice and a whiff of port. There is excellent volume and concentration to the powerful and serious flavors that are generously proportioned while the very firm finale is shaped by bright acidity. This is going to need extended patience."
