Wine Spectator
(12/15/2019) "A graceful, medium-bodied version, with silky tannins and a pleasing juiciness to the array of plumped cherry, stemmy herb and tangy mineral flavors, accented by fragrant graphite, sandalwood and ground pink pepper notes. Finely knit and focused, with the tannins firming up on the long, spicy finish. Drink now through 2032. 400 cases made, 300 cases imported."

(11/26/2019) "Very aromatic, but subtle on the nose with crushed stones, roses, walnuts and cranberries. The medium to full body and very grainy tannins seem to be made for the beautiful, sweet-and-sour character that pervades the palate. The finish is drying, but in an amazingly soft and gentle way. So refined and restrained, yet deep and complex. Reminiscent of Grand Cru Burgundy. Drink from 2021."
