The palate reveals a well-crafted wine with a firm structure, showcasing concentrated flavours of black fruit and baking spices, while the polished tannins suggest that patience will be rewarded as the wine evolves and softens with time in the cellar. Drink now till 2035." -89pts, Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast
