Critics Ratings

'Muscular grip holds the edges, while the core of plum, black currant and steeped blackberry fruit waits in reserve, with black tea, pastis and licorice root notes on the finish. Shows solid range and depth. Best from 2015 through 2023.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Oct 2014)

'Inky ruby. Deeply pitched black and blue fruit display very good clarity, picking up aromas of star anise and smoky minerals with air. Supple and creamy on the palate, with intense blueberry and floral pastille given lift by juicy acidity. Clings with strong tenacity on the smoothly tannic finish.' - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 91/100 (Apr 2015)
