Description
93 points Wine Spectator
"Well-built, with a charcoal frame that melds nicely with steeped currant, blackberry paste and dark plum fruit flavors. The long finish is riveted to a graphite underpinning. Remarkably dense, but without the austere twinge of the vintage. Best from 2018 through 2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes."
93 points Wine Enthusiast
"With so much spicy fruit, intensely ripe blackberry flavors and solid tannins, all the elements of excellence are here, and powered by a firm structure. This wine has weight and a fine Cabernet concentration."
93 points James Suckling
"A fabulous GPL. Perhaps better than the legendary 1982? It shows laser-guide precision on the palate with aromas of currants, cedar, mint, flowers and chocolate. Full-bodied and extremely finely textured on the palate, lasting for minutes. A joy to drink now. Get some."
Jancis Robinson
"Tasted blind. Dark polished crimson. Hemp on the nose. Soft and flattering with sufficient ripe fruit. Well made without resort to artifice. Some interest. A bit overdone but very dense. Dramatic. 17.5/20 points."
