It shows a deep ruby/purple hue and offers candied red fruits, darker blue fruits, graphite, scorched earth, and lead pencil aromatics. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it’s concentrated, powerful, and rich, with ripe, fine tannins, lots of structure, and a great finish. This is going to be long-lived and will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age before cruising for two decades. – Jeb Dunnuck
