95/100; “This is solidly built with seductive complexity and multi-layered mouthfeel; the enticing bouquet shows crème de cassis, rich floral, cured meat and cigar box characters, followed by an impressively concentrated palate offering richness as well as refinement and sophistication. Firmly structured with chalky tannins, finishing superbly long and sturdy. At its best: now to 2036.” - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
93/100; “Deep ruby with purple tones. Mulberry, mint, and cedar aromas. Dense and weighty black fruit fills the core, but a lift of fresh mint tones adds a liveliness to it. Tannins are firm but well-tuned to the fruit weight whilst a hint of acidity adds to the sense of vibrancy. All of this combines to an incredibly long and lingering finish. Still very youthful: time will see further characters build.” – Stuart Knox, The Real Review
