90-92 points/'Top value,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Soft wood frames the exceptionally spicy and fresh liqueur-like aromas of violet, cassis, plum and earth wisps. The lush, round and seductive medium-bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality on the sappy, solidly complex and balanced finale that is youthfully austere and quite firm. Patience advised. Drink: 2029+. (Apr 2019)"
