Score 91/100 · Drink 2014-2022, Robert Parker, Oct 2014

A Merlot-dominated cuvée (75%-80% Merlot), the 2012 Proprietary Red Illustration is a sexy, chocolaty style of wine offering notes of ink, kirsch and black fruits. Lush, medium-bodied, deep, sensual and hedonistic, it can be drunk over the next 7-8 years.
