2018 The Pict
94 points
Wonderfully compelling, offering dense, sink-your-teeth-into-them tannins and a core of blackberry and huckleberry, with notes of Sichuan peppercorn, sarsaparilla, chicory, forest floor and dried porcini mushroom that show a lingering sanguine touch. The muscular tannins and robust flavors bode well for cellaring. Mataro (Mourvèdre). Drink now through 2038../div>
