A big-boned, powerful red that oozes a lot of ripe fruit and mocha anchored by appealing earthy, mineral-rich bedrock. The tannins are present but very fine, keeping this focused and framed. Tobacco leaf and graphite shavings gild the glossy palate through the lingering finish. It should be interesting to watch this evolve with time. Best from 2025 through 2040.
95 points, Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator (Oct 2022)
