Score 97/100 · Falstaff, Nov 2016

Brilliant, bright ruby with a fine garnet sheen. An impressive and dense nose, showing notes of plum, pomegranate, raspberry, plus some leather and truffle. Round and supple in the attack and course, with great balance - initially fine fruit, then firm tannin develops before the very long finish.

Score 94/100 · Wine Enthusiast, Jan 2016

Enticing scents of pressed rose, wild berry, scorched soil, leather and menthol take shape in the glass. The juicy, savory palate doles out red cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice, baking spice and grilled herb alongside ripe, velvety tannins. It's already approachable and will drink well for several more years. Drink through 2022.
