Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Oh what sweet joy this wine was. Gorgeous nose but its on the palate where this wine came alive. Rich dark fruit, plums, and chocolate. It's a burst of flavor, and then there is the lingering finish that keeps the enjoyment going. This is a fantastic wine.

Chris Coughlin - WSET level 3 grad rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

with aromas of black plum, black berry, chocolate, and cooked banana (yes i said that) and much more, this wine is a 'impress your friends' wine. You'll want to drink this with a Rib eye, or juicy rare NY strip. at 15.2% abv it has a beautiful warming to it.

Bella Mcdowell rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Pours an intensely dark plum in the glass. The nose has notes of vanilla, oak, and cassis. The full-bodied, lush palate is layered with smooth tastes of dark berries, oak, and pepper. Refined tannins linger in the long finish along with tastes of oak and pepper. A very sophisticated wine!
