Falstaff Magazine (100)- "Bright ruby red, with subtle brightening on the rim. Aromas of ripe cherries, ripe strawberries, dried rose petals, a hint of sealing wax and subtle notes of tobacco. Very full-bodied, rich and engaging on the palate, with great salinity and juiciness. A big, vibrant and powerful wine with a long finish."
James Suckling (99)- "Wow. The ripe yet fresh aromas are so alluring and compelling, showing plums, cedar, rose petals and hints of leather. Full-bodied yet framed and tensioned with fantastic length and intensity. Polished tannins are powerful but reserved, showing great presence and character. This is a monumental wine in many senses of the word. One for the cellar."
WineCritic.com (98)- "Legendary in its sensorial profile, it shows a solid presence of red fruits well blended with captivating dusty and scratchy nuances of graphite, mandarin peel, chopped cedar and marjoram. There’s more in the background with notes of camphor, jasmine and karkadè. Full body, savory and slender in the sip it shows fullness, harmony and depth. Better from 2027. "
