91 points James Suckling: "A ripe and spicy array of mostly red-plum aromas here. This has a round and juicy palate with blackcurrant-pastille flavor to finish. Drink or hold. (11/19/18)"
Producer notes: "The 2016 Royal Punishers has a healthy deep, dark blue/black color profile. Aromas of plum, quince, violets, figs, molasses, graphite and marbled rye awaken the nose. The entry is viscous and weighty, and then it builds into a broad mid-palate structure which has layers of ripe, black fruit flavors. The oak profile is balanced and the tannins are mouthwatering and medium grained which hold the fruit profile and carry a long, lingering finish. Alcohol 14.8%."
