Jeb Dunnuck awards this wine a high score of 96, highlighting its deep color and Bordeaux-like bouquet characterized by blackcurrants, scorched earth, graphite, and spring flowers. Dunnuck describes it as "full-bodied, concentrated, and structured" with silky tannins and good acidity, contributing to an impressive finish. This robust assessment underscores the wine's elegance and complexity.

Antonio Galloni of Vinous gives the wine a score of 94, noting its rich and smoky profile that invites early enjoyment, a departure from its usual aging potential. Galloni emphasizes the wine's "feeling of gravitas and pure power," praising the Kapcsandy team for managing to avoid the hard tannins prevalent in many wines of the vintage. The presence of tobacco, cedar, leather, smoke, licorice, and incense further enriches its profile.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rates the wine at 93, noting the blend’s deep garnet-purple color and a nose that offers baked black cherries, mulberries, and warm cassis, with hints of lilacs and spices. The review describes the palate as medium to full-bodied with a floral edge, plush tannins, and a fresh, spicy finish. With only 250 cases produced, this limited release is both inviting and complex, promising a delightful experience for wine enthusiasts.
