98 points -- Brilliant notes of cedar, spice box, cassis, smoke, and licorice soar from the glass, as if this wine were pretending to be a first-growth Pauillac. Full-bodied, powerful... and just a faint lightening of the dense purple color at the rim, this is a brilliant wine... with the exuberance, purity, and richness of fruit that Napa provides, but with a Bordeaux structure.
