...notably ripe and ultra-spicy black fruit and earth suffused aromas. There is seriously good density to the impressively scaled and imposing big-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract on the palate coating, powerful and powerful finish that goes on and on. This is a very structured wine that is clearly built for the very long haul... In sum, this offers stunning potential... Burghound.com

Gorgeous nose of roses, raspberries and mushrooms. Big structure. The tannins are beginning to soften but this easily has another 10 years

Quite open and compelling, sweet fruit but not cloying, with good tannic and acidic structure, it would be hard to keep my hands off if I owned it, but should become more interesting with age.

Modern power, overpowered by oak tannins like a green power ranger or something. Needs to chill the fuck out. Too expensive. Pretty enjoyable overall because I didn't pay for it.

Nose was dreamy. Still some serious tannins on the palate, but invariably it was a pain free evening.
