Tasting note
Dark red-ruby Highly complex nose melds aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, licorice, game, woodsmoke and musky minerality, plus a hint of dark chocolate Utterly seamless wine with terrific mineral pungency and lift to its dark berry flavors, along with a peppery suggestion of stems This may not have quite the sweetness of the 2015 but it's classically dry, soil-inflected and very long
Score: 93
