93 points and a Cellar Selection, Wine Enthusiast: "Very ripe and extracted, almost jammy, with primary fruit flavors of blackberries, black cherries, red plums, currants, dark chocolate and spices. Delicious and noble, but kind of immature. Give it 4-6 years to soften and integrate, and it could develop even longer." (10/10) According to Wine Spectator: "Intense, with ripe floral, wilted rose, wild berry and blueberry notes that are complex and focused. Full-bodied, offering hints of red and black licorice and finishing with firm, ripe, yet chewy tannins.
