Philippe Perreault rated this wine as 80/100 with the following review:

Deep garnet color with notes of blackberry, bleuberry and spice.

The palate is elegant, full-dodied and long.

Serve it at 15-17 degrees.

Can be aged up to 5 years.

Pair it with Italian sausages skewer!

Valérie Dufour rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Green pepper. Rosemary. Tobacco. Leather. Black cherry.
I call those wines steak wines. This a robust, fruit forward wine that will please most palates. A wild horse. Well made, but predictable to the last drop.

Marco Giovanetti reviewed this wine as follows:

Ripe cassis, black cherry with peach and herbs. In the mouth, full body and fresh with a very balanced structure. Elegant cab with long persistance in the mouth and aromatic finale.

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Cedar and cherry on the nose with cherry, blackberry and vanilla flavors that weave into a nice soft finish.

Kristin Perrin rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Blackberry, cedar, tobacco leaf, woodsy, herbaceous nose
All very much echoed on the palate, with some black currant and leathery nuances
Full bodied, medium acidity, chewy tannins. Long lasting vanilla & blackberry finish

Jane LeFresne reviewed this wine as follows:

Green pepper, cherry, raspberry aromas with hints of vanilla.

Flavours of vanilla, cherry and raspberry. High tannins, acidity and alcohol.
