James Suckling 100/100 (December 2019): "I am spellbound by the aromas of crushed blackberries, licorice, black tea and violets. It's full-bodied yet so intense and linear. Powerful tannins with superb polish and focus give an amazing texture. Complex and fascinating flavors of hazelnuts and dark fruit. The balance and strength is uncanny. Perfect wine. Very direct and superb. Try after 2025".
