James Suckling: 92 Points
"Fine spices to the savory, ethereal berries with red cherries and hints of mushrooms and walnuts. Quite succulent on the palate with fine tannins, a medium body and long, spicy finish."
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
"This opulent red boasts plum, blackberry, leather and vanilla flavors, aligned with a broad, dense structure. Stays defined, thanks to mouthwatering acidity, while the finish echoes vanilla and toast notes. Drink now through 2026."
