Vinous: 96 Points
Deep bright-hued purple. Expansive aromas of dark berry preserves cherry pit incense black pepper candied rose and spicecake along with hints of pipe tobacco and vanilla that emerge as the wine opens up. Seamless and broad on the palate offering wonderfully concentrated yet lively smoke-tinged black and blue fruit floral pastille and spicecake flavors lifted by a bright mineral flourish. Shows outstanding energy and sharp delineation on the strikingly long floral- and mineral-accented finish which is given shape by dusty fine-grained tannins. There's 40% new French oak here and it plays in superb harmony with the wine's pure expressive fruit.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
Like all of Cullen's top reds this Bordeaux-style blend—made from the winery's home block of biodynamically farmed fruit—is still a baby. Its youth is particularly pronounced in a cool vintage like 2017 but with time to open up it hints at extraordinary things for the future. Whispers of dried rose petal clove wild currant red cherry seaweed and minerals are tucked into a bed of chocolaty spicy oak which will integrate with time. The luscious high-toned fruit is held together by fine nervy tannins. Put this far out of reach and don't touch for at least another five years. Drink 2025–2040
