Individual collectors often rely on local retailers offering limited quantities from individual producers.

James Suckling raves, calling it unprecedented in his 40 years of tasting barrel samples, setting a new benchmark. Antonio Galloni describes them as "viscerally thrilling," and Neal Martin lauds their "intense fruit, finely-sculpted tannins, structure, elegance, and length."
