Critics’ Consensus:
Spicy, concentrated aromas of leather and dried cheddar cheese lead to a lush, balanced palate with heft, acidity and tasty flavors of chocolate, coffee and spiced blackberry. Silky tannins support the finish, which lingers with notes of fresh tobacco and crushed berries. (WS / WE / WA)

Critics’ Consensus: Proffers a splendid nose of balsam wood, earthy minerals, exotic spices, floral notes, and assorted black fruits. Layered and loaded with velvety, lush layers of fig paste and blueberry cobbler. There’s also plenty of dark toast, but it’s integrated, with a long graphite edge hanging on the finish. (WA/WS)
