95 points James Suckling: "Aromas of graphite, game, earth, red cherries and dark berries. Dense palate with dusty yet ripe tannins, refreshing acidity and a medium to full body. A lot of good substance that still needs time to integrate and gain complexity. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. (Jun 2024)"

95 points Falstaff Guide: "Bright, radiant ruby red. Freshly ground pepper and herbs on the nose, with fine Amarena cherries and notes reminiscent of mint chocolate and blackberries on the finish. Balanced on the palate and harmonious throughout, it's nevertheless powerful and lingers on the tongue for a very long time. (Oct 2022)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "A lively, graceful red, well-spiced and aromatic, with a skein of incense and potpourri notes winding through cherry and berry fruit flavors. Reveals a savory push of loamy earth, mineral and brambly herbs on the plush finish. Drink now through 2031. 500 cases made, 75 cases imported. (Mar 2024)"

92 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Sweet in its initial presentation, it displays notes of lavender, hibiscus, lime blossom, strawberries, and red plums. Full body, soft, well-crafted tannins, and a compact, structured finish. Better from 2023. (May 2022)"
