92 points - James Suckling
"This has aromas of black fruit, blueberries, dried oysters, grilled herbs and mushrooms. It’s full-bodied with firm, fine tannins. Savory and structured with excellent energy."

90 points - Wine Spectator
"A polished red, round and medium-bodied, with vanilla- and spice-laced black currant, fig cake and loam notes. Fresh and balanced, with creamy tannins firming the finish."

90 points - Wine Enthusiast
"Dark ruby to the eye, this wine has aromas of black cherry, vanilla and violet. Flavors of cassis, cherry, salted caramel and rosemary are set into a web of gentle tannins that fade into a soft, floral finish."
