James Suckling 94pt

A smoky and earthy wine with an extremely firm structure. Wonderful forest-berry fruit. Very crunchy palate with a lot of energy and crisp acidity, the finish radically mineral. Needs some time, but this is a very impressive wine for the appellation and it has decades of aging potential.

Wine Enthusiast 93pt

This wine immediately reveals tension and verve, with aromas of wild thyme, ripe blackberry, and concentrated morello cherry- aromatic and inviting. On the palate, silky tannins seamlessly integrate with vibrant acidity, elevating the ripe black fruit. Perfectly ripe plums persist through the midpalate, where cardamom, saffron spice, and whole black peppercorn.

Wine Spectator 92pt

Shy and tannic at the moment, with earthy black cherry and plum flavors buried in a dense structure. This isn't overly astringent and ends with persistence, echoing the fruit and earth notes.
