Critic tasting note: "Drinking at close to its apogee, the full-bodied, richly textured wine is loaded with dark chocolate-covered plums, smoke, licorice, black cherry and earthy accents. Lush, hedonistic, full, long and opulent, 30-60 minutes in the decanter seems to be the right call. 94 Points" - 94/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
