95 points Vinous: "Highly perfumed aromas of red and blue fruit preserves, exotic spices, mocha and incense pick up a smoky nuance as the wine stretches out. Broad and fleshy but surprisingly lively as well, offering concentrated raspberry liqueur, boysenberry, cola and licorice flavors and a late touch of candied rose. Finishes seamless, sweet and extremely long, with an echo of sappy blue fruit and supple, even tannins that add final grip."
