92 Points – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate

The regular 2022 Blue Label (there’s also a special cuve in 2022) was still matured in new oak, but they used less toast and barrels from coopers that marked the wine less. It’s aromatic, spicy and toasty, with notes of vanilla and cinnamon, ripe berries and aromatic herbs. It’s ripe at 15.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.71, 5.5 grams of acidity and three grams of residual sugar. It’s medium to full-bodied with abundant, fine-grained tannins and some oak-related flavors.
