Score 16/20 · FINE+RARE

A very dark nose. Fine but not pungent. Very concentrated but streamlined with no hard edges. Finishes a little dry but nice for not being forced.

This is very fine for the vintage with a lovely blueberry and currants and spice character. Full body, with well-integrated tannins and a pretty finish. jamessuckling.com

Score 17/20 · Decanter

Fine spicy cassis fruit and already showing smooth and elegant ripeness. It will open early but also keep well. Drink 2015-2025. Decanter.com

Score 89-92/100 · Wine Spectator

This has solid depth, with good winey currant and blackberry fruit at the core, picking up briar, anise and sweet tobacco as it moves through the finish. James Molesworth, WineSpectator.com
