90 Points, Vinous / Stephen Tanzer’s IWC: “Deep, vivid pink. Powerful, mineral-accented red berry and orange pith aromas pick up a subtle hint of succulent herbs with aeration. Juicy and broad on entry, then tighter in the middle, offering juicy red fruit and anise flavors and a suave floral overtone. Closes smooth and spicy, with an echo of dusty minerals and very good persistence.”
