From the name to the labeling to the hefty bottle, this wine screams premium blockbuster. The nose is a rich but likable winter-warming combo of plump plums, chocolate-covered cherries, licorice, graphite and some spicy green-leaf notes. The palate is expectedly weighty and dense, with lashings of oak, muscular tannins and quite a lot of alcohol. But there's a good deal of acidity which buoys the plush fruit. Nevertheless, this is a flashy beast of a wine that shouldn't be touched any time soon. Drink 2021–2029.
