The review highlights the wine's "broad, structured and generously layered" profile, noting its full-bodied and complex nature. The wine is described as having "juicy freshness, fine-grained tannins and a dusty essence of dark red and black fruits," culminating in "a plummy finish." The wine was matured for 22 months in new and once-filled French oak barrels and neutral oval botti, with a total production of 35,292 bottles.

Both reviews emphasize the wine’s complexity and aging potential. Suckling’s mention of diverse aromas and refined texture, along with Parker’s focus on structure and layered profile, suggest a well-crafted wine with depth and sophistication.
