James Suckling: 97 Points
Aromas of very ripe berries, together with touches of earthy spice and licorice and a hint of balsamic. Full-to medium-bodied and focused with firm, grainy but not chewy tannins that push the fruit and oak-spice through the long finish. Very nicely structured for the vintage. Give it a few years for the wine to blossom. Best from 2025. (2/7/22)"
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
This has fine depth and intensity to the mulled plum, leather, sweet tobacco, camphor, tar and oak spice aromas and flavors. Boasts a broad, dense structure, with tannins that dominate the finish for now. Shows fine balance, length and complexity, but this just needs time. Best from 2025 through 2045. 500 cases made, 42 cases imported. (2022)"
