92 Points

Sunday, September 17, 2023 - This was about as rich, polished, and modern as it gets. PnP, Dark purple robe without any bricking. Clearly well made, nose of vanilla and barrel toast, still primary in that sense. Dark fruit without overripe flavors, and that is appreciated, but it has a marked new world feel. To me the gripe here is too much wood with too much toast masks its sense of place. I’m not confident in how it will integrate, but the saving grace is its balancing acidity. Best to hold this wine for 3-5 years and enjoy on the younger end, I think. Crowd pleaser in that context.
