98 points International Wine Report: "Ripe and essential, it offers notes of sour cherries in alcohol, dehydrated cherries, pressed flowers and burnt lemon peel. In the background the elegance of the Mediterranean profile enriches the matrix with shades of thyme and rosemary. Medium to full body, juicy and centered offers silky tannins and a slender finish of enveloping harmony. Better from 2021."
98 points James Suckling: "Lots going on here with black plums, ripe cherries, cedar, smoke and cocoa on the nose. Ash, chocolate, crushed walnuts and some praline. Mushrooms. This has firm, ripe tannins and a full body. Flavorful and juicy finish. Very structured. Drink after 2025. (10/29/20)"
98 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$100 list] Aromas of red berry, camphor and tobacco meld with rose in this fragrant, full-bodied red. The smooth palate is concentrated yet elegant, featuring raspberry jam, cherry marinated in spirits, licorice and coffee bean alongside a backbone of firm, velvety tannins. Drink 2023–2031. Alcohol 15%. (May 2021)"
