James Suckling - 99 Points

Complex and intense with a rare mineral quality for the hot 2020 vintage. Fresh blueberries, wild herbs, hot stones and graphite. A hint of violet. Tannins are quite chalky and tense on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Extremely long with an ethereal finish. It goes on and on, lasting for two minutes. Effortless intensity and concentration, but almost weightless. This delivers exceptional freshness for this vintage. Harvested from 18th March. Already drinkable now, but it will last. 100% century-old, ungrafted cabernet sauvignon.


Wine Spectator - 93 Points

Leads with engaging details of dried lavender, cassis and fresh tobacco, while cast iron notes chime in to embolden the fine-textured core of chocolate-covered cherry and brambly raspberry flavors. Ends with nice length around the firm but well-integrated tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2025 through 2035.
