92-94 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim, very attractive black berry fruit of cassis and blueberries, inviting fruit expression, candied orange zest. Juicy, elegant, fine blackberry fruit, integrated tannins, mineral and persistent, very good length, good ageing potential. (5/30/16)"
93 points Stephen Brook (Decanter): "There’s sightly more Merlot than Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, however the latter dominates the dense nose. This is outstanding even by Sociando’s own high standards: rich and robust, fleshy and concentrated; wonderfully generous fruit, with ripe tannins and a long finish. Drinking Window: 2019-2032. (5/29/18)"
93 points James Suckling: "Some graphite and toasted spicy fruits, which create an impressive opening. Iodine and dark berries follow. The palate has a similarly spicy start, which builds waves of fine, ripe tannins that hold impressively fresh and deep. Try from 2022. (1/22/18)"
