Score 92+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Saturated deep red. Superripe aromas of black cherry, plum, dried flowers and marzipan, plus hints of spices and molasses. Extraordinarily tactile and rich; conveys an almost salty impression of extract. Mouthfilling and very deep. Has the material to buffer its chewy, big tannins. Real palate-staining persistence.
