Wine Spectator: 92 Points
With a mature edge to a mix of warm plum cake and steeped blackberry fruit mixed with bittersweet cocoa and bramble accents. Nice singed alder hint frames the finish.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Powerful and intense, this opens up with concentrated, slightly jammy fruit supported by a serious backbone. The fruit is rich and expressive.
