99 points Jeb Dunnuck: "[$160 list] Co-fermented with 3% Viognier, the Syrah-dominated 2022 Clos Du Lican is a gorgeous Syrah that I wish every reader could taste. Pure black raspberries, spring flowers, pepper, and hints of game all emerge on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a pure, layered, seamless mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and no hard edges. It's not over the top at all and just has a seamless elegance that's hard to find. It's a brilliant, brilliant Syrah that will keep for two decades. Drink: 2025-2045. (3/6/25)"

98 points Colin Hay (The Drink Business): "From a cooler vintage, I find this so gracious and composed. Glacially plunge-pool cool at the core but stretched over a broader and more ample frame, so this is more like plunging into a lake than a deep well. Raspberries. Crushed berries. So juicy, gracious and limpid. The tannins are ultra-fine grained and seem to creep between the layers, allowing them to glide or roll as if conveyed on beads of glass. Juicy and sapid right to the finish. An amazing wine. Unique. Vibrant. And with an intense salinity and sapidity combining on the finish."
