Josh Raynolds, November 2020, Score: 97
Deep, glass-staining violet. Powerful, mineral- and smoke-accented blueberry, cherry liqueur, incense and pipe tobacco aromas show outstanding definition and pick up suggestions of mocha and exotic spices with air. Offers deeply concentrated black/blue fruit, cherry-vanilla, espresso and bitter chocolate flavors; a spicy flourish emerges as the wine stretches out. Finishes smooth, energetic and extremely long, with youthful, slowly building tannins and lingering suggestions of candied flowers and smoky minerals.

Jancis Robinson, September 2020, Score: 16
45% Syrah, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot. Reminiscent for Stepha Asseo (owner/winemaker) of some 'late harvest' style wines he made for this blend in 2006 and 2010. Opaque purple colour. Tarry black fruit and chocolate on the nose. Concentrated palate, but the alcohol is too evident. It feels like this will only increase with time. Chalky tannins are well refined given the muscular three varieties blended here. All about power.
