Wine Fool Likes this wine: 100 points
August 10, 2020 - The nose is all ripe plum, wood smoke, anise and sous bois. The flavors of blackberry, plum, coffee, mushroom and iron-rich soil are quite huge on the palate. At the same time these flavors are expansive, multi-layered and verging on the voluptuous. And the tannins are soft, sexy and perfectly poised to support a wine of this size and richness. The balance is superb! The wine is so delicious and instantly satisfying that it verges on the hedonistic. I have followed it since its release and can report that it is drinking at its peak. It also promises at least a dozen more years of great unbridled drinking pleasure. Tonight it is once again perfection in a glass.
