Food Pairing: Pairs best with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, mushroom dishes, truffle risotto and aged hard cheeses.

A profound wine with blackberry, blueberry, crushed rocks, roasted meats, spring flowers, cedar, graphite and vanillin. Full-bodied, richly textured and built for decades of aging.
98 Points - James Suckling
Very distinctive and succulent, with layered fruit, impressive depth and balance. A powerful wine with outstanding length and aging potential.
98 Points - Wine Spectator
A blockbuster with immense blackberry, plum and black cherry fruit wrapped in layers of graphite, tobacco and chalky minerality. Exceptionally long and powerful finish.
