James Suckling writes 92 Points |A transparent, aromatic red with blackberries, lavender with some violets. Medium to full body, very fine tannins and a beautiful finish with lovely fruit and firmness. Its racy and fine. Drink or hold. –

Josh Raynolds of Vinous writes |Limpid ruby. Bright, spice-accented aromas of blackraspberry, cherry and black pepper. Light-bodied and energetic on the palate, offering zesty red and dark berry flavors and a hint of licorice. Finishes clean and brisk, with no obvious tannins and a hint of jamminess. Drinking 2021 – 2024. – Vinous Gillian Sciaretta writes: This red shows lots of freshness, with red berry, orange peel and savory spice notes that are enhanced with leather and leafy underpinnings. The tannins show some grip. Drink now through 2025.
