James Suckling: 98 Points

A dense layered young red with extraordinary depth and power. Muscular yet so balanced and polished. The ripe strawberry and cherry character is impressive with hints of hazelnuts and mushrooms. But it’s the texture that makes it great. It’s an indication of the superb structure. Try after 2025.

Wine Enthusiast: 97 Points

Cellar Selections - Sumptuous black cherry flickers across the nose on this wine in tantalizing fashion only to disappear again. The palate provides a firm but smooth channel for all this ripe smooth and aromatic fruit. Compact profound and structured the velvety body also flexes with muscle. Energy pulses below the surface. Forbidding for now the wine is certain to relax into pleasure. Drink 2030?2050.

Wine Spectator: 95 Points

This is a beauty its ripe cherry blackberry and blueberry fruit meshing seamlessly with the silky texture and well-integrated structure. Mineral earth and a hint of chocolate accents add detail as this cruises to a long fresh spice-tinged finish. It just keeps expanding. Best from 2023 through 2036. 247 cases made 50 cases imported. ?
