Aaron Romano of Wine Spectator says, "A big and gutsy style, yet without being overly tannic, this leads with chocolate cosmo, black strap molasses and subtle gamey details that give way to a ripe core of blackberry and Mission fig. A streak of graphite runs underneath, lending some tension. Finishes with ripe, chewy tannins and a late arrival of coffee bean that lingers around the core flavors. Drink now through 2040."
