Very powerful aromas of blackberry, fresh mushroom, iron, spice and lightly grilled meat. Full body with layers of fruit and earth character. Decadent and intense. It’s a phenomenal wine. Incredibly layered and muscular. Better than the legendary 2006? Built for aging. Better in 2018 [through 2030+]. Score – 100. (jamessuckling.com, Oct. 19, 2015)
