90 ST. "Dark red-ruby. Briary red and darker berries, spices, licorice, bitter chocolate and mocha on the nose. Juicy and savory on the palate, with berry flavors complicated by notes of black olive and wild herbs. A very nicely balanced second wine with a fine-grained texture, good energy and early accessibility. A line of bitter chocolate oak extends from entry to aftertaste." Vinous, July 2018 |
