wine enthusiast 93 pts"Enticing scents of rose, blue flower, tilled earth and sandalwood waft out of the glass on this fragrant red. Savory and structured, the taut, elegant palate features juicy Marasca cherry, spiced cranberry and star anise framed in tightly knit fine-grained tannins. Give it a few more years to fully unwind. Drink 2023–2029. - KERIN O’KEEFE"
