Score 90/100 · Drink 2016-2023, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2016
(14.5% alcohol): Medium ruby. Brooding aromas of cassis, black cherry and creosote, with some superripe porty tones. Fat and rich but energetic, with its ripeness accentuated by exotic sweet oak. A big, no-holds-barred wine with considerable sweetness and a chocolatey ripeness to its substantial tannins. The first vintage for this flagship bottling.
