94 points Wine Spectator

Distinctly fruity, this red features black cherry, blackberry, plum, licorice, cedar and oak spice aromas and flavors. A supple version, with terrific balance and a long aftertaste. Shows just enough grip to lend serious weight. Merlot. Drink now through 2032.

93 points James Suckling

This is a wonderfully polished and creamy red. Notes of chocolate biscuits, dark plums, cloves and dark cherries on the nose, as well as some graphite, followed by a full-bodied, plush and supple palate. Merlot.
