Score 87-89/100 · Jeannie Cho Lee MW

This is a thick dense wine with plenty of dark berry fruits that are lifted by the tannins and fresh acidity. The is a classy medium-bodied wine that has a fairly long length. It is approachable young but will also keep for at least a decade. asianpalate.com

Very fine and racy, with licorice and blackberries and pretty and racy tannins.

Quite smoky blackcurrant fruit, impressive depth of flavours and grip as well, length and potential complexity. Drink 2014-22. Steven Spurrier, decanter.com

Score 87-89/100 · Neal Martin

This has a lifted nose of blackberry, smoke, soy and a touch of hot gravel stones. Moderate definition, this comes across as a little broody at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky smooth entry, quite masculine and tannic, just missing fleshiness on the finish that would have balanced it up. Maybe this will come in time? Hopefully….I still appreciate the charm of this wine. Tasted April 2011. Neal Martin erobertparker.com
