95Robert M. Parker Jr.

...a stunning nose of spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry fruit as well as touches of incense and graphite. Medium to full-bodied and stunningly concentrated, this 2012 is a great success in the vintage...

94-95James Suckling

This is solid and muscular Issan with round and powerful tannins. Full and long. Impressively structured.
