BUY THE WINE

Michael Steinberger: Wow, what a sexy beast! A huge, mouthfilling wine, but again, it manages to be supremely elegant at the same time. Rich cassis fruit and big, velvety tannins are the defining attributes on the palate, along with an endless, hauntingly good finish. And here’s the really crazy thing: These impressions were formed on the basis of a slightly corked bottle! That’s how good this wine is. 19.5–20
