JS James Suckling: 92 Points
A red that shows the ripeness and richness of the vintage, with plum, berry and lightly dried fruit. Some cedar and vanilla, too. Full-bodied with polished tannins. A juicy and rich wine. Drink or hold.
WS The Wine Spectator: 92 Points
This red is hallmarked by a bright beam of cherry, strawberry, floral, earth and menthol flavors, with an elegant profile giving way to dense tannins as this winds down on the finish. Fine balance. Best from 2025.
WE Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
This opens with aromas of eucalyptus oil, blue flower and roasted coffee bean. The savory, full-bodied palate offers fruitcake, cherry marinated in spirits and licorice before firm, close-grained tannins sneak up toward the end and leave a grippy, drying finish. Give the tannins a few years to unfurl, then drink sooner rather than later.
