96 points Wine Spectator
"A complex, balanced and powerful red,showing dark plum, kirsch, mineral, cocoa powder and currant flavors, with firm acidity."
95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"This really needs a couple of years - at least - to settle down, but it seems to be a big wine in the vintage, finely crafted for all of its size."
