Description

A dense nose features notes of very ripe plum, cassis, violet, spice, earth and sandalwood nuances. There is excellent intensity and power to the concentrated middle weight plus flavors that possess an abundance of dry extract that pushes the very firm core of tannins to the background on the moderately austere, complex and wonderfully long finish. This is solidly well-balanced and while firm it's not hard or rustic. 91-94 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound

Black cherry and licorice on the ripe but cool nose. Concentrated and deep but light on its feet, showing strong minerality and inner-mouth tension. More energetic than the 2014 and very primary today. Finishes tactile, fresh and long. 92+ points, Stephen Tanzer, vinous.com

Rich and concentrated, with a dense layer of tannins supporting black cherry, plum, black pepper, earth and mineral flavors. Shows depth and energy, fading with harmony and grace on the long finish of iron, fruit and spice. Best from 2020 through 2036. 95 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator.com
