Score 91+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Bright ruby-red. Reticent but pure aromas of blackberry, pepper, orange peel and woodsmoke. Big, sweet and lush; concentrated, crunchy dark berry flavor gives an impression of strong extract. Finishes ripe and impressive, with a note of pepper and substantial tongue-coating tannins. Should age well.
