This plush red delivers boysenberry and raspberry compote flavors, with notes of vanilla, licorice and forest floor. Firm tannins and bright acidity keep this focused. Sleek and polished through the floral finish. Vibrant and expressive. Drink now through 2028. Score: 95 Winespectator.com, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2019-2028 10 April 2019 |

I tasted an unbottled sample of the 2016 PS, which was the final blend waiting to be bottled in a couple of weeks. It's quite oaky—marked by the élevage of 19 months in new French oak—spicy, toasty and creamy. It has a full-bodied palate with abundant, fine-grained tannins. This will need time in bottle. It's a wine aimed for fans of powerful, concentrated and generously oaked wines. They expect to fill some 40,000 bottles in late June 2018. Score: 94 - 95 Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2022-2030 31 August 2018 |
