Score 17/20 · Drink 2013-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2011

Dark ruby. This wine manages to be both ripe AND fresh. Bravo! Neat and contained and presenting a lot of well-balanced pleasure within the limits of 2007 ie not flashy or exuberant. Appetising and savoury. (JR)

Score 16/20 · Drink 2013-2018, Jancis Robinson MW, Feb 2011

Damp-fur register of ripeness on the nose! Sweet and a little tired on the palate. Not much refreshment but nicely judged tannins and sufficient acidity. Good for the short term. (JR)

Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2011-2016, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Oct 2009

Combination of toasty oak and cassis leaf but sweeter and richer on the palate. Pretty soft. (JH)

Score 86-88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008

Bright ruby-red. Blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate and licorice on the nose. Broad, fruity and sweet, with a rather soft, open-knit texture. Could use a bit more energy, but finishes with ripe tannins and very good breadth.
