95 Points Tasting Panel
Statuesque and opulent, with a wash of anise, espresso, and sage. A stream of juicy blackberry flows through slate and soy sauce. Violets are vivid, draped over oak and bittersweet chocolate.
94 Points Wine Enthusiast (Editor's Choice)
Luscious and ripe black fruits ride an effortless texture in this seamless and well-balanced wine. Minutely grained tannins weave through dark plums, spearmint, cocoa and black cherries. While enticing and drinkable, the wine should have a long, more complex life ahead. Best from 2027–2040.
92 Points James Suckling
Aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, roasted walnuts, vanilla and licorice with some earthy character. Fresh and juicy on the palate with a full body and polished tannins. Long finish with an array of ripe-berry flavors.

Flavors follow with ripe blackberry jam, a luscious approach of dark fruits, terrific structure supported with elegant moments of oak and a finishing hint of anise. This is a supple yet generous wine with an excellent structure, feel and approach.
