TASTING NOTES:
Baking spices, earthiness and a lot of ripe dark fruit. Some coffee, bay leaf and a touch of mushroom, too. Full-bodied with ripe-fruit character on the palate, chewy tannins and a juicy mouth-feel. Linear and polished at the finish.
-James Suckling, 94pts.
Intense boysenberry, raspberry and blackberry pâte de fruit flavors drive through, flanked with an applewood note and carried by a deeply imbedded graphite spine. Licorice snap note then echoes on the finish.
-Wine Spectator, 92pts.
