Wine Critic Reviews
“...a stunning wine that shows how compelling this vintage is. Super-ripe black fruit, leather, spice, menthol, licorice, tobacco and black pepper scream out of the glass, saturating the palate with notable presence. The style here is on the riper side, with a healthy oak imprint that complements the approach beautifully.” ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous

“Reductive aromas of asphalt, charred meat and tar open up into lavender, pepper and blueberry on the nose of this bottling. There is a solid tension to the palate, where grilled plum and blackberry flavors are dusted in singed firewood and cracked peppercorn.” ~ Wine Enthusiast
