97 points -- One of the finest wines of the vintage... offers profound, intense aromas of black cherries, licorice, and spices. Smoked bacon drenched in red cherry syrup, licorice, stones, blackberries, and roses can be detected in its nuanced flavor profile. This hugely powerful... effort has awesome mouth-feel, perfectly ripe tannin, and an unreal finish lavishly layered with creamed red fruits... Bravo!
