A Best Buy
TASTING NOTE: Wonderfully expressed and enticing, the bouquet shows black and purple fruit intensity with nuances of star anise, cedar, and liquorice. It's wonderfully weighted on the palate, delivering a plush texture with finely infused tannins that finish persistent and delectable. At its best: now to 2033.
