96 points Anna Lee Iijima (Decanter): "Black cherry and mulberry flavours etched with whispers of char and anise extend from nose to finish in this opulent yet elegantly finessed wine. It's powerfully concentrated in fruit but shaded with dusty, earthen tones of baked clay and granite. The palate is luxurious and creamy with a finish fringed with fine-grained, charry tannins. Ready now but should hold further. Drinking Window: 2024-2036. (12/2/23)"

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Fruity and juicy aromas of alpine strawberry and raspberry compote are elevated by elegant lavender and violet touches on the nose of this bottling. The palate is framed by ample tannins, yet it goes down incredibly easy, offering raspberry paste, boysenberry and light spice flavors. (Dec 2023)"

94 points James Suckling: "Aromas of blueberries with wrought iron and metal shavings with some sliced strawberries with white tops. Full to medium body. Firm tannins and fresh acidity. Racy. Narrow. Drink or hold. (3/16/23)"

Producer notes: "Tremendous richness, depth and concentration. Loaded with blueberry, wild berry and blackberry fruit that offers intensity, lively acidity and enough tannins to merit short-term cellaring."
