Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Plum, blackberry and fig flavors are ripe and rich in this dense red. Mocha, licorice and mineral notes add interest. The tannins are polished and well-integrated, and there's enough acidity to keep this lively. Plush and powerful, in the modern style. Drink now through 2028.
