93/100Josh Raynolds,Vinous
(malo and two years of aging in new French oak barriques): Opaque purple. Potent, expansive aromas of fresh black and blue fruits, vanilla, fruitcake and woodsmoke, with an intense note of Indian spices. Sweet, seamless and broad on entry, then tighter in the middle, offering sappy boysenberry and cherry-vanilla flavors that are given focus and spine by juicy acidity. Puts on weight with air while retaining vivacity and finishes spicy and very long, with excellent focus and gentle tannic grip. This is a real success for the vintage.
