91 Points Wine Enthusiast
“Intense garnet color, and rich aromas of earth and plum. Blackberry and spice appear on the palate, which is balanced and complex yet seamless. Delicious and long, with excellent finesse.” Virginie Boone
91 Points Wine Spectator
“Open and accessible, shows a gush of warmed cassis and plum compote flavors, laced with black licorice, supported by a graphite edge at the very end. Drink now through 2027.” James Molesworth
