92 pts. Wine Spectator:

"This red displays fruit flavors of black cherry, blackberry and black currant, plus shades of violet, iron and tobacco. There are firm, dense tannins for support and ample acidity driving the long finish. Best from 2028 through 2042. 3,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported."

Wine description

Intense and brilliant ruby red with refined garnet reflections. Complex bouquet full of expressions with an attack of fresh and inviting fruity notes, especially small black berries, followed by subtle sweet spicy hints and elegant balsamic hints with a dried tobacco leaf finish. Long, lively and at the same time silky tannins, well supported by a good level of acid freshness, a large volume and an opulent body with an admirable final result in terms of harmony, integration and balance of the components.
