Wine Enthusiast: 100 Points
An exquisite wine relying primarily on Cabernet Sauvignon from a single estate. Aromas of lavender dried herbs and grapefruit pith combine with flavors of firm fruits and cocoa on a structure of abundant powder-fine tannin and a mouthwatering finish. This wine is refined detailed and delicious with as much elegance as energy. Best 2026?2040. ? Elaine Chukan Brown
James Suckling: 99 Points
So much graphite and volcanic character on the nose with metal shavings and gunpowder. Black ink iron and rust too. Blackberry and blackcurrant undertones. Full-bodied but not overpowering with chewy and juicy tannins that are long and very subtle. Superb finish. From biodynamic grapes with Demeter certification. 91% cabernet sauvignon 4% cabernet franc 3% carmenere 1% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Drinkable now but better in 2027.
