Criticism

Luis Gutiérrez, Robert Parker's critic wrote:

"This is my second time trying the 2013 Saktih. Composed mainly of Petit Verdot, it comes from a cool and slow maturing vintage that has reached perfect maturity of tannins. It has been aged with native yeasts in 12th century stone vaults Fermented in the 19th century and then aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months followed by five months in oak foudre before bottling It is serious, dark, concentrated, earthy and powerful and appears to be aging very slowly It is very good indeed, a wine for perfectionists. 860 bottles and 150 magnums were filled in August 2015."
