Score 92/100 · Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider, Jun 2017

Produced using 100% Merlot, it's easy to see the licorice, black cherry and earthy scents. Medium bodied, soft and approachable, there is a good sense of sweet, ripe, kirsch with freshness from start to finish.

Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2018-2025, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Jan 2017

Tasted blind. Deep garnet. Some Ribena-cassis sweetness but also a more dry stalky note, then more leafy. A little bit lean and dry on the palate. (JH)

Score 94/100 · James Suckling, Feb 2016

Lots of bark, cigar tobacco, stone, volcanic salt and black cherry. Dry persimmon. Full bodied with a seductive velvety texture. Minerally finish. Stylish. Drink or hold.
