John Gilman: Providence is an excellent and nicely reserved example of the vintage. The nose offers up a classy melange of black cherries, dark berries, tobacco smoke, espresso, herb tones, a touch of wood, and an excellent and quite complex base of soil. On the palate, the wine is deep, full-bodied, and beautifully balanced, with a rock-solid core of fruit, ripe, firm, and well-integrated tannins, sound acids, and excellent length and grip on the properly structured finish. This will take at least a full decade to blossom but should prove to be an outstanding wine. 2020–60. 17.5/18

Michael Schuster: Notably fragrant and mineral; a very refined, ample, finely tannic wine; beautifully constituted, beautifully balanced; such a lovely, fleshy, plump generosity of texture and fruit within a particularly fine-grained tannin. Long, ripe, fleshy, graceful flavor, complex, sweet, intense, subtle, and satisfying; finesse of texture, sweetness of fruit, and lovely length. A great Providence. 2020–35+. 17/17.5+
