92pts James Suckling

Spicy, slightly leafy character with notes of currants, blackberries, walnuts and pine needles on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, firm and focused, with linear polished tannins and juicy acidity. Shows freshness and poise. 

90pts Wine Spectator

Stitched with black currant, blackberry, bell pepper, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors, this red is smooth and fluid. Dense tannins underlie it all, while a chalky sensation leaves its imprint on the finish. Drink now through 2030.
