James Suckling: 92 pts

There’s a profusion of primary fruit here, but it’s so appealing and fresh. Lavender, violets, citrus and spices all enter the fray. Fine, medium-bodied and silky with wonderful mineral drive and poise. Drink now.

Vinous: 91 pts

Vibrant red. Spices and tobacco complement juicy red cherry and raspberry aromas and flavors. Closes bright and energetic, with what I can best describe as a high “gluggability quotient”; try it slightly chilled and you’ll find it goes down like water. Lovely medium-bodied red wine that will prove a perfect match with pizza, burgers and pasta.
