Impressive notes of mulled black cherries, darker currants, chocolaty herbs, and pepper all emerge from the glass and this medium to full-bodied 2018 has a great mid-palate, ample depth and richness, and sweet tannins. It’s beautifully done and just about seamless on the palate, with the forward, already delicious style of the vintage front and center. enjoy bottles anytime over the coming decade.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck (October 2020), 92 pts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eTangs of granite and firm, gripping tannins lend angularity to concentrated black cherry and plum in this wine.
