96 Wine Enthusiast This ruby-colored wine has a bouquet of wild blackberry, black olive paste and dried hillside herbs. A layer of velvety tannins swaddles flavors of black plum, raspberry, violet, cocoa bean and fresh sage that melt into a long, satisfying finish. Drink through 2038.
95 James Suckling Excellent depth and complexity here, starting from the nose that’s rather more introverted yet savory in nature, showing subtle vanilla spices, dried oranges, peppercorns, dark mushrooms and berries. Fluid, nicely fruity and intense, with fine spices and nice flesh in the middle. Lengthy finish, lasting for a minute. Drink or hold.
91 Wine Spectator A fragrant and enticing red, with a pleasing sense of restraint, layering fine, chalky tannins and refreshing acidity with flavors of black cherry tart, dried lavender, licorice, cured tobacco and fresh, loamy earth. Lightly spiced and lingering on the finish. Drink now through 2030.
