What the experts say...
"This has a fleshy feel, with dark plum and steeped currant fruit rolling along, while substantial but velvety tannins cruise underneath. Ample ganache and Black Forest cake details show on the finish, but a good tug of graphite keeps this honest. Drink now through 2021." Wine Spectator
