Wine Spectator
A handsomely structured version, offering deep blackberry flavors laced with forest floor, stony mineral, clove and black tea tones as this builds tannins toward the slightly firm finish. Best from 2025 through 2033.Â
James Suckling
Dark berries, iron shavings and sliced green top strawberries. Really aromatic. Medium to full body with firm tannins that open beautifully and spread across the palate. Lots of concentrated fruit on the center palate. Savory at the end. Needs time to open. Give it two or three years.
