Wine Enthusiast, April 2018

Densely tannic, this wine displays considerable power and concentration. With 84% Merlot it exhibits jammy, rich black-plum and blackberry fruit and powerful tannins. This is an enormous wine, still very firm. Drink from...

Wine Spectator, March 2018

Dark and dense, with a brooding personality, offering a mix of warm tobacco, espresso, dark earth, well-steeped black currant and fig fruit flavors. Finishes with a broad loamy swath of fruit and tobacco, showing a strong...

The lively backbone ensures a seamless integration of flavors, while a very long, spicy finish leaves a lasting impression.
