Critics Ratings

'The fruit tones are rich and penetrating, spanning from plum, prune and cassis to spice cake, tar and black licorice. The wine's concentration is luscious and opulent. The oak element imparts lasting aromas of spice, toast and caramel but the wine already shows a good degree of integration that should help it continue its bottle evolution.' - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Feb 2015)

'Dense and beefy, featuring a core of cherry, augmented by tobacco, spice and earth flavors. Feels like it may be closing down, but all the components are there. Long finish. Best from 2019 through 2032.' - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Dec 2015)

'Underbrush, savory herb, leather and dark-skinned fruit aromas mingle in the glass. The firm, structured palate delivers mature plum, black cherry, vanilla, licorice and a confectionary note alongside assertive tannins. Drink 2018-2028.' - Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, 92/100 (May 2015)

'Quite deep, concentrated ruby. Impressive yet austere, savoury fruit nose with hints of graphite and oak. Compact and tightly knit, firm palate, a little sweet but with good potential.' - Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2015)
