Wine Enthusiast 96
The nose is a retired sailor's old leather trunk, smelling of the tobacco, vanilla, dried fruit and dark chocolate once contained within, with a hint of saline. Like the trunk's owner, the palate is mature but not boring, with continuing notes of vanilla and fruit, but umami undertones, ominous tannins and searing acid provide contrast.
