(14.5% alcohol; from sandy loamy soil at an altitude of 5,600 feet; the components are aged for a year in all-new French oak, then blended and returned to the same barrels for another six months): Bright red-ruby. High-pitched aromas of blackberry, coffee, mocha and violet. Concentrated, suave and sweet; a seamless fruit bomb with lovely inner-mouth floral, minty lift. Finishes with very fine-grained tannins and excellent length. This should evolve gracefully. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, July 2018)
