Medium to full-bodied, it's exquisitely silky and elegant from start to incredibly long finish; while there is ample concentration and a fine, lacy framework of tannins to support the fruit, the tannins virtually melt away into the background, leaving behind lingering notes of salted licorice and mocha. Approachable now, it should drink well for at least two decades.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJosh Reynolds, Vinous, March 2020 - 97P:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInky magenta.
