An opaque color and max-ripe aromas of raisin, prune, cassis, vanilla, and raw cream open this heavyweight red that's holding nothing back. A thick, extracted palate is syrupy in consistency. Flavors of chocolate, maple, and slightly overripe blackberry finish warm but shallow. Drink this modern high-octane wine through 2030. 92 Points, Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast
