Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Great balance of fruit, spice, and savoury notes. Aromas of strawberry and dried cherries with hints of dried herbs, tobacco and smoky spice. Medium+ body with bright, mouthwatering acidity and slight tannins. Berry notes are bright and fresh mingled with sweet smoke and herbaceous notes. Enjoy with a charcuterie plate.

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This is a robust red with vibrant red fruit, licorice and spices on the nose. The palate is dense and concentrated with dark red fruit. Tannins are fine grained. The finish is commendably long with lingering dried cherry throughout. Enjoy with roast beef or pasta with bolognese sauce. (Tasted Oct 2022 thewineloverskitchen.com)
