This reserve sees just 14% new French oak, which is more than adequate, but it's the beautifully ripe, fleshy, firm and deeply rich fruit that holds your attention. Mulberry, cassis and black cherry flavors abound, with seams of graphite and espresso. It's a big wine, but the tannins are so smooth and supple, the fruit so rich and delicious, that it never loses its seamless elegance. 93 points, Paul Gregutt, Wine Enthusiast
