James Suckling 93, Robert Parker 92, Natalie Maclean 92, ElsBob 93

ABV 14.5%

Deep purple in color, aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and chocolate, oh my, medium-full bodied, more smooth than tannic, medium dry, and not very acidic. We had this with some mild cheese and slices of pepperoni. Terrific.

An excellent fine wine at a very reasonable price. A 93 rating usually goes for 2 to 3 times the price I paid. I initially tried this wine in 2021 and rated it a 91. It has improved significantly with age.
