The nose is an acrobatic oscillation among savory, sweet and floral aromas, as notes of smoke, spices and pepper brighten into dancing sugar plums, then soften into vanilla cream. The palate maintains the remarkable intersection of spice and perfume, but a deep earth element brings in a savory, sanguine contrast. Tannins are gorgeously sculpted but imposing, like classical statues, while acidity is linear and directed, like the artist’s chisel. — Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2024

“A dense red, with expressive black cherry, blackberry and plum fruit, plus accents of mineral, tobacco and spices. Firmly structured and vibrant, this ends with a lingering aftertaste of oak spices.”
