Score 93-95/100 · FINE+RARE

This is a little reticent today though there is some very pure lifted fruit underneath. Cool. Precise and very attractive. And soft and supple in the mouth. Silky. Some depth here and this is very glossy, very Poyferre. Stylish. Joss Fowler, FINE+RARE, April 2015.

Very stylish, with blackberry, black cherry and black currant fruit already melded together with subtle charcoal and ganache notes. Offers a velvety feel, but isn't shy on grip or depth. This is sneakily long. A lovely showing.—J.M. Wine Spectator, April 2015.

A ripe, generous and substantial wine for this appellation with some real concentration, a solid core of ripe tannins and enough acidity to carry the long, savory finish. Needs four to five years to show its true potential. A beauty. Try in 2022. Feb 2017, www.jamessuckling.com
