Wine Advocate: 95 Points
"Bursts with flamboyant notes of redcurrant preserves, cassis, dark chocolate, violets and red roses... The medium to full-bodied palate is fabulously velvety, delivering beautiful freshness and loads of spicy layers, finishing very long."

Winemaker's Vision
"This wine is dark and brooding, a wine of elegance, fine and structured tannins, and basically the wine-equivalent of a Wagner piece on a stormy night after unexpectedly making an enormous sum of money. In other words, it is fucking pure magic with rock bloody solid complexity on a very high level." - Jayson Woodbridge
