“Rich and heady, the 2013 'Darius II' is starting to fall right in its sweet spot. Once on the nose very sweet cassis fruit greets you alongside suggestions of coffee grounds and dark chocolate shavings. Full-bodied, viscous and showing a great mineral streak, this beautiful wine exudes class from start to finish, with outstanding length and a massive core of dark fruits with firm tannins holding everything in place. Enjoy this phenomenal 2013 wine over the next fifteen years. Drink 2021-2036- 96”
