Aromas of ripe dark and purple fruit with vanilla, licorice, mocha and pine wood. It's big and wide on the palate with plush, velvet-like tannins. Very textural, with a dusty and velvety mouth-feel and a lingering finish. Attractive fruit underneath ... Drink or hold [through 2028]. Score - 93. (jamessuckling.com, May 24, 2023)
