Vinous
Reviews 92 points Wine Advocate "... unwinding in the glass with scents of dark berries, plums, petals, dark chocolate and forest floor, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate underpinned by lively acids and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the attractively perfumed finish. (WK)" 93 points Vinous "... very nuanced on the nose with beguiling purity and poise, incense and pressed iris flowers emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very cohesive, building in convincing fashion towards its grippy finish. (NM)"
