93 POINTS

Wine Spectator

This is a fleshy and dense offering, with layers of warm cassis, plum sauce and cherry preserve flavors seamlessly entwined, while warm fruitcake and melted red licorice notes fill in through the finish. There's a whiff of smoky tea at the very end, while the fruit plays out. Best from 2020 through 2034. 7,667 cases made, 2,530 cases imported.

James Suckling

Very rich, multilayered Châteauneuf with ripe red-plum and dark-berry aromas. The palate has such intense and fresh, juicy-fruit drive. Long and focused finish. Drink or hold.

Fresh, punchy apple and lemon and some real presence and phenolic weight on the palate. Dry, fresh and powerful appeal. Drink now.
