Intense and packed with black cherry, black currant, blackberry and violet aromas and flavors for the get-go, this stellar red is also laced with iron, black pepper, eucalyptus and tar elements. Brooding and solidly built, yet with a sense of finesse, this is balanced and the finish just seems ot go on and on. Best from 2030 through 2053. Score - 99. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Nov. 29, 2025)

Rich and creamy, with butterscotch, vanilla, and oak spice. Well-made and elegant with a distinguished, graceful character. This will drink through 2032+.
