"Rich and dark-fruited with layers of blackcurrant and berries, dried herbs, licorice, cassis and sweet spice. The palate is full-bodied with a textural, rounded mouthfeel, firmly framed tannins and a bright, long finish. Classical in nature and deliciously so. Drink or hold." —James Suckling

"A touch reserved in persona, this offers a well of cassis, plum reduction and blackberry preserve notes layered with tobacco and loam. Well-structured through the finish, with hints of cast iron and walnut husk keeping this grounded. Nicely done. Best from 2027 through 2037. " —Wine Spectator

"The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon includes 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc and spent 16 months in 65% new French oak. Largely dominated by ripe cherries, it folds in hints of cassis and darker berries and some gently herbal sage notes. It's medium- to full-bodied, silky and ripe, with a bit of elegance to it as well. This is pretty impressive stuff, especially considering the volume (15,694 cases) and the price." —Wine Advocate
