92 Points - Wine Enthusiast 

Dark-red-cherry, light thyme, loamy soil and wood-spice aromas make for a potent nose on this bottling of the Alban clone. The palate is intensely focused with a deeply titanic character that surrounds the dark-fruit, sagebrush and rainbow-peppercorns flavors. This is still young but expect a vibrant life to come. — Matt Kettmann
