Critics celebrate its balance: James Suckling awarded 93 points for its “velvety and vibrant” palate, sleek tannins, and succulent fruity finish with excellent persistence. Jeb Dunnuck (90 points) highlights its richer, savory character—expect layers of red plum, dark cherry, leather, exotic spices, and earthy undertowns, all delivered with notable structure and harmony.
