Vinous Comment - Score: 95 (2019 September)

Inky ruby. A highly complex bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, candied licorice, olive paste and potpourri, and mineral and game notes appear with aeration. Stains the palate with intense, spice- and mineral-tinged blueberry, bitter cherry, dark chocolate and violet pastille flavors. Velvety, slow-building tannins lend shape to an extremely long, subtly chewy finish that shows outstanding power and mineral drive.
