A plump, juicy style, displaying cherry, raspberry, smoke and spice flavors. A mineral element comes into play as this builds to a long, saturated finish. Delivers fine intensity and spice nuances. Best from 2019 through 2030. 6 cases imported. — BS (05/2016)

Full, dark red. Deep aromas of black raspberry, crushed stone, licorice, minerals and spices, along with a whiff of meat. Densely packed, saline and concentrated, with a restrained sweetness contributing to an overall impression of finesse. This wine is hiding more than it's showing today; from barrel in the fall of 2014 it showed explosive floral and spicy high notes but today it appears to be in a sullen phase.- Stephen Tanzer (03/2016)
