Andrew Jefford: Deep, dark black-red in color. Ripe, smoky, herbal, warm, and smouldering aromatic profile; almost coffee cream. Attractive. Vivid, deep, searching, lushly ripe, with plenty of creamytoasty- smoky pleasure behind the soft plum fruits, and with deliciously expressed, palpable tannins. Kick back and enjoy. 2018–23. 91

Michael Schuster: Oak cream and ripe blackberry-fruit nose; rich middleweight wine, finely tannic; sweet and savory flavor, quite juicy, fleshy-textured within the slightly wood-dry tannin, modest complexity and nice, gentle length. 2022–30+. 89
