Tasted at 01/06 Tampa offline. OMFG. This fruit bomb is measured in megatonnage. The nose is an immense blueberry pie right in the face. My head literally snapped back. Ripe sweetness of blacker-than-black fruits on the wonderfully rich mouth. Long, long, finish. There is nothing subtle about this wine, and that is its downfall. There is just no top so high that this wine can't go over. Even The Rocket Scientist, who loves this style of wine, said "That's just too much." Despite being expertly-crafted, I can't agree with Parker's 98. 93pts.
