95 Points

Saturday, July 24, 2021 - Deep ruby, opaque.

Nose: Lavender, cast iron, asian five spice. Muted.

Supple, dense notes of steeped blackberry, black cherry, and acai have full reign throughout the mouth: cruising through with authority as cherry pit, earl grey, asian five spice and bitter chocolate fill in around. Not huge in body, but mouth filling in flavor, leaving a resinous, teeth staining coating in leaving. Chewy tannins swell at the end, keeping everything from becoming cloying. Excellent length in all.

Overall: Takes the richer side of the ledger, but keeps good drive throughout, and the tannins on the finish are a welcome touch. Layered and complex, with beautiful touches in the complex mix of flavor. Very strong overall. Drink now - 2036.

95.
