Score 87/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Good full red. Black raspberry, mocha and nutty, tarry oak on the very ripe nose. Fat and moderately sweet in the mouth, with more torrefaction (tar, bonfire, mocha) than fresh fruit showing today, along with a hint of menthol. Tannins are fine and sweet but the wine lacks shape and verve.
