89, Wine Enthusiast
A balanced wine that has both fresh red fruits and some tawny maturity. It has acidity, hints of wood aging and a spirit of freshness. The aftertaste is soft, smooth and toffee-like.
88, Wine Spectator
Light aromas of cinnamon, birch beer and toffee lead the way, backed by juicy, open-knit notes of Christmas pudding and fruitcake. Has a nice freshness on the finish.
