James Suckling 94pt

Quite a bit of orange peel and tangerines with savory dried spices, tamarind and intriguing minerality. Sharp, mineral tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Precise, structured and tactile. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator 94pt

There's purity to the cherry and raspberry flavors in this red, with flashes of rose, mineral and tar notes. Taut and firm, showing excellent tension and length.
