Critics Ratings

‘Dark red and brick on the color, big on the nose from the decanter- a lot on the spices and toast, which also reflected on the palate nicely. Moderate amount of sediments for the age of the wine. Wonderful taste and great smell, just amazing how well it aged. It still has some good years ahead of it assuming proper storage.’ - Cellartracker, 94/100 (May 2015)
