95 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "The ripe blackberry fruit leaps out at you on the nose, but this Bordeaux blend also has a lovely minty freshness. Plenty of toasty oak, but the wine’s enveloping richness scoops it up as if it were nothing. Then the powdery tannins build and the wine shows you its plush and fascinating sides. Very long finish with delicate hints of caramel and resin. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. (3/8/23)"
93 points Peter Moser (Falstaff Guide): "Strong ruby, purple reflections, subtle ochre rim brightening. Floral nuances, a hint of cassis, fresh blackberry. Complex, taut, elegant, fine structure, supporting tannins, delicate hint of nougat, possesses freshness and length, balanced, appears comparatively light-footed, a multi-faceted companion at the table, good further development and certain ageing potential. (11/22/22)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "Sleek and full of character, with cool, gravelly minerality underlying brambly red fruit and black plum flavors. Cedar and charred mesquite add bass notes, with singed incense, bay leaf and black pepper bringing a savory, earthy dimension. A brightness persists through the dense, complex finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2030. (10/31/24)"
