Vinous - Score: 93 (2019 Sep.)

Inky ruby. Deep-pitched dark fruit preserve, violet and olive scents, along with suggestions of smoky bacon and game. Sweet and broad on the palate, offering plush cassis, blueberry and spicecake flavors that turn spicier as the wine opens up. In a ripe, generous style, showing solid dark fruit thrust on a long, smooth finish framed by velvety tannins.
