Reviews 92.5 points Vinous "Deep red with ruby tones. Highly complex, musky aromas of wild dark berries, coffee, mocha, underbrush, flowers, licorice and minerals. Wonderfully silky yet brisk on entry, then primary and intense in the middle palate, with dark berry and mineral flavors dominating. Lovely inner-mouth vivacity and lift. Really expands and builds on the back end, with the strong tannins showing a distinctly fine-grained, dusty character. Easily the best and the most complete of these 2014s to this point, this wine should age slowly. (ST)" 92 points Burghound "An expressive, dense and markedly floral nose is quite ripe but with good freshness on the red and dark berry fruit, earthy and gamy aromas. There is terrific power and concentration to the stony, muscular and mouth coating large-scaled flavors that deliver huge length on the impressively complex and youthfully austere finale. Like its 2015 counterpart, this is a really lovely combination of power and refinement though patience will definitely be required. (AM)"
