94+ points Stephen Tanzer for Vinous: "Deep red-ruby. Pure if somewhat brooding scents of raspberry, currant, licorice and tobacco. Concentrated and tightly wound, showing darker mid-palate fruit than the 2014 Solari as well as considerable power. But there's no shortage of sweetness here. This beauty spreads out to saturate the palate without leaving any impression of heaviness. The red fruit element returns on the ripely tannic finish, which displays lovely retronasal lift, belying its very high pH. This should last very well. Winemaker Petroski described 2013 as 'the granddaddy of all vintages, with no soil stress, no heat spikes, no Indian summer.' He summarized: 'We made our most powerful wines ever.' This wine was the highest in total polyphenols of all of the bottles in my double vertical and yet its huge tannins are remarkably integrated." (8/2019)
