Score 92/100 · James Suckling

Very chewy for this appellation, with lots of tannins. Character of ripe fruit and toasted oak. It all comes together. Full and juicy on the palate. Try after 2015. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com

Blueberry and loads of darks fruit on the nose. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and silky tannins. Juicy finish

Score 90-92/100 · Neal Martin

Picked between 15th and 28th September, a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, this has a ripe, quite rounded nose with red-berried fruit, a hint of apricot and mulberry with moderate definition. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, sturdy tannins, great depth of flavour with blackberry, cassis, a touch of spice and in the background a hint of something more exotic: yellow plum and apricot. Mouth-filling, quite extroverted towards the finish. Very fine.

Very rich and broad and opulent. Very hot and exaggerated. Rather rustic. Concentrated. Awkward.
