94pts Wine Spectator– 2010 vintage

FOR THE 2010 VINTAGE
Coffee and chocolate aromas signal this exotic and fragrant red. The cherry and plum notes are almost afterthoughts, while spice, leather and tobacco flavors come to the fore, with vivid acidity through the lingering finish. Best from 2019 through 2035. 3,300 cases made.

92+pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni– 2011 vintage

FOR THE 2011 VINTAGE
Medium red-ruby. Expressive perfume of small red berries, herbs and minerals on the deep, concentrated nose. Smooth on entry, then tighter in the middle, with a youthfully medicinal quality to the red cherry, blueberry and smoke flavors. Showcases smooth, ripe tannins on the rising back end, finishing long with an impression of fresh herbs and ripe fruit.

95pts James Suckling– 2012 vintage

FOR THE 2012 VINTAGE
Rich and mellow with a nice freshness. The balance gives this powerful and moderately tannic wine a lot of appeal. A long, supple, refined and rather complex finish. Drink or hold.
