Sam Kim, Wine Orbit – 95 Points
Richly fruited and complex, the wine shows cassis, thyme, fennel, and cedar characters on the nose, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate offering plump mouthfeel and silky texture. Superbly structured by layers of polished tannins, making it sturdy and supple at the same time, with a persistent, engaging finish. At its best: now to 2036.
