THE WINE INSIDERS “CLASSIC 95” Rating:
A BIG team favorite, this is a flamboyant and enormously mouth-filling wine. It deftly marries complexity, balance, dark fruit, exotic spice and smoke to create a big, juicy, voluptuous experience that will blow your mind. Inky black, it reveals terrific concentration, with a wide array of lush and powerful flavors that include smoky chocolate mole, blueberry jam, cassis, and dark black truffle with a long finish that includes slightly toasted oak combined with a hint of smoked game and roasted herbs. Reminds us of the ideal combination of the decadence of an Aussie Shiraz + the seriousness of the finest Napa Cabernet. This wine is worthy of a special glass tonight as well as long-term cellaring 2016 – 2018. 95 points.”
