92 points. Smoky and floral at once, with lots of chocolate and coffee notes, this wine’s nose wells with intriguing tones of cacao powder and cola. A core of ripe red cherries and berries appears in between it all, reflecting an interesting combination of New World fruit and Old World inspiration. The palate is very ripe, rich, and plush. The same smoke found on the nose makes itself known in the flavor profile, with Old World notes of stone and suede showing in the background. This gives way to tones of cola and coffee with a faint herbal quality and a lightly dusty element. This is a fascinating wine, showing ripe red fruits at its core, countered by fresh acidity, as well as a vast array of secondary notes that make it very complex and enjoyable.
